Increasing air pollution is a serious problem in Poland and in the world. It poses a threat to human health and life. Statistical data show that tens of thousands die every year in Poland due to air pollution. According to the NIK report, Poland has had the most polluted air in the entire European Union for years!
In turn, according to the analysis of the Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection, the state of air in the Małopolskie voivodship requires measures aimed at improving its quality, due to excessive sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide concentrations, especially high PM10 suspended particulate matter. The cause of air pollution in Krakow is, among others its unfavorable location, a large number of windless days and the construction of the city's ventilation channels. The problem is also insufficient information about the state of air pollution and the ways of its elimination. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake a wide open discussion by self-government authorities, scientists, experts and residents of Małopolska, the aim of which would be to make positive changes in thinking and make constructive decisions for air quality.
I FORUM Green Smart City - a voice of science in the fight against smog - is a platform for information exchange between local government authorities, universities, environmental protection funds, NGOs, entrepreneurs and residents of Małopolska. The main assumption of the Forum is to show that the actions undertaken by the government administration, voivodship authorities and municipalities aimed at reducing low emissions must be based on the synergy of actions of entities on many levels. The Forum is also a place to exchange knowledge and experiences on the methods of comprehensive fight against smog and counteracting the emergence of threats associated with it. The Forum is open and representatives of the voivodeship authorities, the city of Krakow, municipalities of the Małopolska voivodship, experts and scientists (from the University of Agriculture, AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow University of Technology) were invited to participate.
The conference was implemented with the help of the financial support of the Voivodship Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Krakow.
