Three Bulgarian projects out of a total of 133 supporting the ecological transition in the EU will be funded by the European Commission. This was reported by BNR correspondent in Brussels, Angelina Piskova.
The projects are focused on nature and biodiversity, environment and resource efficiency, and transition to clean energy.
The first project aims to reintroduce the griffon vulture. It will be implemented in collaboration between conservation organizations, foresters, and hunters in Bulgaria and Greece.
The second project focuses on reducing the cadmium content in industrial wastewater. The largest Bulgarian lead and zinc producer, KCM, will introduce new techniques for metal extraction from industrial wastewater at its plant in Plovdiv.
In the third project, students and construction professionals will learn skills for decarbonizing the built environment.
Additional Information:
In recent years, the European Union has been emphasizing the importance of environmental projects to combat climate change and protect biodiversity. The funding for these three Bulgarian projects highlights the commitment of the EU to support initiatives that promote sustainability and green practices.
The project targeting the reintroduction of the griffon vulture is crucial for preserving the species and restoring balance to the ecosystem. By involving various stakeholders such as conservation organizations, foresters, and hunters, the project aims to create a collaborative effort towards protecting wildlife.
Reducing the cadmium content in industrial wastewater is essential for preventing pollution and safeguarding water quality. The implementation of new techniques for metal extraction will not only benefit the environment but also improve the overall sustainability of industrial processes.
The project focusing on decarbonizing the built environment through education and training demonstrates the EU’s proactive approach towards promoting sustainable practices in the construction sector. By equipping students and construction professionals with the necessary skills, the project aims to drive innovation and promote eco-friendly building practices.
Overall, these three environmental projects in Bulgaria showcase the country’s dedication to environmental conservation and sustainable development, aligning with the EU’s goals for a greener and more sustainable future.
