Summary

The intended impact of the project “Support for Sustainable Prizren - Initiating Urban NA-MAs” is to contribute to reducing climate-change related vulnerability in Kosovo.

The objective of the project is to prepare the city of Prizren for reducing the overall Green House Gases (GHG) emissions through cross-sectoral interventions at the municipal level, such as collaboration between industry, government, private sector, civil society including women CSOs and academia that account for different experiences based on gender sensitive approach. This project will contribute to creating healthy urban living conditions and achieving sustainable growth, while setting an example as a city-wide intervention for Kosovo.

Goals (What do we want to achieve).               

The project contributes to SDG 11 and SDG 13,

Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities: Target 11, Indicator: 11.3.2

Goal 13: Climate action: Target 13.2, Indicator 13.2.1

And contributes to GAP II Thematic Priorities and Objectives: 16 and 20

The project intends to achieve the following two outputs:

Output.1. The municipality of Prizren enhance its technical capacities in terms of reporting, measuring and verifying GHGs emission.

 Output.2 The municipality of Prizren is able to articulate their climate-related priorities, and to identify and implement mitigation actions as urban NAMAs across sectors.

Results Achieved

· Prizren Green Growth Centre established. · GHG Emissions Inventory Report for Prizren City, baseline year 2014 developed.

· Developed capacities on data collection and GHG calculation, conducting the QA/QC of the GHG Inventory and Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of GHG emissions for 13 members of PGGC working group.

· Baseline study for Prizren municipality to identify the potential gender-related climate change risks in sectors and to specify priority needs of men, woman and marginalised groups for inclusion into the Climate Change Cross Sectoral Intervention Plan for Climate Change completed.

· Prizren Cross-Sectoral Intervention Plan (CSIP) for Climate Change. The CSIP, includes application of Urban NAMAs in the energy sector, management of waste sector, sector of transport and public services, with interventions to reduce the GHG emissions and contribute to sustainable development. In total, in the report were presented 74 measures/interventions developed.

· Criteria for prioritization throughout the NAMA process developed.

· Assessment and technical Design of the green retrofitting of streets, alleys and parking lots completed.  

· Assessment to determine the feasibility of rooftops of Three Public Buildings for installation of the Solar panel solutions completed.

· Implemented pilot urban NAMAs resulting in:

·  Reduction up to 30% of GHG emissions through installation of the PV solar energy for the public municipal administrative building,

·  Saving up to 25% of energy through application of Energy Efficient roof insulation of the public municipal administrative building,

·  Demonstration of the impact of green urban spaces in city microclimates, climate change and air quality through implementation of smart green retrofitting with innovative technology solutions in 13 different locations in the city through:

· Green walking path for visually impaired pedestrians

· Smart green area solutions,

· Charging stations with PV solar energy panels for electric vehicles.

·  Smart bike charging stations with PV solar energy panels, and wheelchairs for people with disabilities.

· Innovative smart bus stations with PV solar energy panels and wheelchairs for people with disabilities
