Procure and operate electric vehicles (2 e-cars) by the Ivje District social services in order to reduce CO2 emissions and for practical demonstration of the benefits of using eco-friendly means of transportation. 2. Carry out thermal rehabilitation of the exterior walls and replace window and door apertures in Ivje Central District Hospital in order to reduce CO2 emissions. 3. Carry out a public awareness-raising campaign on climate change prevention by using eco-friendly means of transportation, including publications in media, issuance of information and printed matter, and its dissemination through the feedback channels of the Ivje District healthcare, ecological and social services. 4.
