Project Characteristics and Results
Policy Influence
Developing and carrying out of a single regional lesson in educational institutions of the Kostyukovichi district on the topic "Greenhouse effect - the cause of climate change" A single regional lesson on energy saving was held in 13 educational institutions of the Kostyukovichi district. Classes in grades 8-11 were held during April 2022. A regulation on a single district lesson has been developed, which will be applied in all subsequent years in the district.
Replication of project activities
It is planned to carry out activities for the installation of street LED lamps throughout the district (in small villages) till 2030.
