New climate plans for cities, more green areas, and cleaner air

The act introduces mandatory climate change adaptation plans for cities with over 20,000 residents, aiming to increase green spaces and improve rainwater management. It also simplifies funding for home insulation to combat smog and sets quality standards for biomass and firewood.
Key points
Urban Adaptation Plans: Cities with 20,000+ residents must create plans to combat climate change, focusing on greening and rainwater retention.
More green spaces: New municipal green areas should, where possible, consist of at least 90% biologically active surfaces.
Easier fight against smog: The minimum number of houses required for local anti-smog agreements is reduced from 20 to 10, and the maximum average investment per house is increased to PLN 106,000.
Quality standards for biomass: New quality requirements will be established for wood pellets, briquettes, and firewood to prevent the burning of low-quality fuels.
Protection for vulnerable groups: Air protection plans must include specific measures to protect children and the elderly in highly polluted areas.
Lustration in environmental funds: Officials in national and regional environmental funds cannot have worked for or collaborated with communist-era state security organs.
