On March 2–3, during the international event—the 11th European Congress of Local Governments in Mikołajki—the #Cone project was presented.

As an Institutional Partner of the event, we invited representatives of our member municipalities and their experts to discuss the intensifying and systemic hydrological threats in northern Poland and the South Baltic Sea region

The panel experts—Tomasz Sielicki, Mayor of Braniewo; Jacek Wolski, Mayor of Nowe Miasto Lubawskie; Prof. @Magdalena Gajewska of Gdańsk University of Technology; Anna Wołodźko of the City of Gdańsk; and Jakub Bornus - Head of the Braniewo Commune, raised important issues regarding nature-based solutions, methods, and the objectives of the CONE project.

They also emphasized the immense importance of the tools available to Wody Polskie.

At the end, the panelists jointly emphasized the importance of water and called for the implementation of solutions that help us retain it in cities and municipalities and then reuse it.
