Green Łódź – An Eco-Friendly City

An Eco-Friendly City

Łódź’s greatest strength lies in its openness. The city invites people to co-create, puts residents at the heart of its priorities, and implements solutions that respond to their needs—while fostering civic engagement. Businesses and other stakeholders are also invited to collaborate, because a city is a living, interconnected organism.

Łódź is carrying out a number of initiatives to support sustainable development, with a focus on community involvement, international cooperation, and environmental education.

Eco-Friendly Initiatives

Collecting Rainwater & Greening Projects: Subsidies for rainwater harvesting systems, bioretention, planting trees, shrubs, wildflower meadows, and replacing non-ecological heating systems.
International Cooperation: Participation in the EU Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission and the NEEST project to transform selected districts through ecological innovation.
Civic Budget: Dedicated funds for environmental projects initiated by residents.

Environmental Education

Beekeeping Workshops: Classes about the role of bees, conducted in collaboration with Intelligent Hives, open to all age groups.
