Deklaratë:

Build Green Group shpreh kundërshtim ndaj ndërhyrjeve që rrezikojnë ekuilibrin ekologjik në një nga ekosistemet më të rëndësishme të vendit dhe zonës së mbrojtur Vjosë–Nartë.

Ky rrezik nuk është abstrakt apo thjesht teorik, por ka ndikime reale në ekosistem. Studimi i realizuar nga BGG mbi ndërtimin e Aeroportit të Vlorës (https://tinyurl.com/4m7rc8sn) evidenton se zhvillime të tilla sjellin ndikime të shtuara mbi biodiversitetin, habitatet natyrore dhe ekuilibrin e zonës, duke e bërë Nartën edhe më të ekspozuar ndaj degradimit.

Zhvillimi nuk duhet të vijë në kurriz të natyrës veçanërisht kur flasim për zona me vlera të larta ekologjike që kërkojnë mbrojtje dhe vendimmarrje të bazuar në evidencë.

🚀Resilient Selenicë Initiative at the Pathways2Resilience Summit in Budapest!

📆 From 10–12 February 2026, Build Green Group, together with the Municipality of Selenicë, within the framework of the Resilient Selenicë Initiative, participated in the Pathways2Resilience (P2R) Summit held in Budapest, Hungary.

Bringing together 100 European regions across two cohorts, the Summit marked a key milestone in advancing the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. Over three days, it provided a dynamic platform for peer exchange and strategic dialogue, focusing on turning European climate ambition into concrete regional action. High-level discussions and co-creation workshops explored the role of Pathways2Resilience in delivering the Mission, strengthening governance, mobilising finance, and advancing stakeholder-driven climate adaptation planning.

For Build Green Group, participation in the P2R Summit alongside the Municipality of Selenicë reinforced our commitment to supporting first-cohort European regions in the development of Climate Resilience Action Plans and Investment Plans. The event strengthened our technical and strategic capacities, expanded our network of regional and European partners, and further aligned our work with the broader EU Mission on Adaptation and the European resilience framework.

This project is implemented within Pathways2Resilience (P2R) Project, coordinated by EIT Climate-KIC, co-funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union.
