35 million euros for hydrometeorology - Investments in infrastructure for predicting and mitigating climate risks
35 million euros is the value that will be invested for the modernization of the infrastructure for predicting and mitigating climate risks. The Albanian, German and Swiss governments, through a joint conference, presented the launch of the ALBAdapt program, which aims to strengthen Albania's resilience to climate change.
"The lack of a modern and functional system of hydrometeorological services has increased our sensitivity and highlighted the necessity of a deep reform in this sector, for which financial means and a better coordination between our institutions are needed. This project aims at this through the modernization of the hydro-meteorological infrastructure of Albania. Through the integration of advanced equipment and software, the program will harmonize and centralize climate information, making it accessible to all citizens", said the Minister of Tourism and Environment, Mirela Kumbaro.
Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku was also present at the event, who said that in addition to the regulatory bases that align us with EU countries, synergy and innovation in such projects are very important.
"Coordination, preventive coordination and innovation are two elements that should be widely used in the face of all civil emergency issues and all the challenging issues we are facing today due to climate change. On behalf of the Albanian government, today I have the pleasure of thanking all the partners", said Balluku.
The program will integrate the most advanced meteorological technology and expertise from renowned institutions such as the Swiss Federal Office for Meteorology and Climatology. This project makes Albania the first country in the region to access bilateral funds from the Green Climate Fund.
