Responsibilities will be determined in the Educational Centers and in the Town Hall for the diffusion of preventive measures and to ensure their execution. In addition, it will plan the conduct of awareness campaigns in school time and in summer schools on good practices to adopt in these situations. The lessons learned will be considered within the framework of the Reixaca project.The creation of a regional protocol for action against environmental and climatic episodes promoted by the General Directorate of Education and the Health Planning and Financing Service of the CARM will be promoted.4432432019{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-1.00495, 37.799]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

To this it must be added that the contribution of tourism to greenhouse gas emissions is increasing "and it is expected that they will increase of 130% between 2005 and 2035 ", thus reaching 10% of total global emissions by 2025, against today's 3.96% ("Climate Change: Implications for Tourism" report, published by Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership et al.).For this reason, the Municipality of Ferrara has already set up a series of strategies for de-season tourist presences and promote integrated itineraries together with other entities / realities of the territory, such as the coastal towns. Due to this reason, from 2017 Ferrara joins the Destinazione Turistica Romagna established by the Emilia Romagna Region and has developed visual identity of the project "Ferrara Feeling" together with Comacchio, designing some thematic sub-projects of tourist communication (sports, cultural itineraries etc.).It is therefore planned to continue and implement these actions by specifically promoting the following activities: promotion of sustainable tourism through marketing and social tools and the active involvement of tour operators in the area; promotion of a tourism offer extended over the whole year and able to reach different targets, such as for example congress tourism, young / old, also through the promotion of specific events already scheduled in periods of lower tourist flows and that can be implemented through twinning with events developed in other cities during high season or aimed at these specific targets.Pre-feasibility study status(Sub)nationalhttps://destinazioneromagna.emr.it/1320092017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[11.619, 44.8357]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

An open house public meeting was held on December 10, 2015. Direct mail information has been provided to water customers to provide information about the status of the drought, outdoor watering restrictions, a drought surcharge, water conservation techniques, and individualized water conservation data. Water conservation is also encouraged through signage, informational handouts, and table tents at restaurants to encourage customer conservation of drinking water. • Participation in Solano Turf Replacement Program: The Solano County Water Agency (SCWA) has administered a turf-replacement program since 2010 using state Proposition 84 grant funding that provides rebates to residents who replace their water thirsty lawn with drought-tolerant landscaping. This program has reimbursed a property owner $1.00 per square foot, up to $1,000 per project.• Water Conservation Rebates: The City offered rebates to Benicia residents in partnership with the Solano County Water Agency, including high efficiency washers and toilets, turf replacement rebates, and commercial / industrial / institutional high efficiency toilet rebates.• Water Leak Detection: The City’s leak detection contractor, Utility Services Association, conducted their work between April 29, 2015 and August 28, 2015. The firm searched for water leaks on 125 miles of pipeline throughout the City. The leak detection contractor found a total of 49 water leaks, six of which were significant leaks estimated at over five gallons of water loss per minute. Of the 49 water leaks, 8 were on the customer side of the water meter and those customers were notified. Of the 41 leaks that the City is responsible for all repairs completed as of February, 2016.Additional upcoming tasks related to water conservation include water meter replacement and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), an update to the Urban Water Management Plan, and evaluation of water reuse potential in Benicia.281742017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-122.159, 38.0494]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

As such, the nets have been utilised for alternative uses such as fishing nets for catching smaller fish in the Nacala bay (with knock on negative impacts for the breeding fish population). The action aims to ensure that the community has a clear understanding of what the nets are for and the value they have for reducing the chances of contracting malaria. No implementation has been undertaken to date.2247952019{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[40.6854, -14.5656]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143

For instance, the spreading of new pests and plant diseases in the area is even likely. In addition to forestry and agriculture, these were seen as a threat to urban nature in Turku. One example identified is the Dutch elm disease that would be extremely harmful, as there are plenty of elms in the City of Turku area and they form an integral part of city landscape. Experts stated that the changing ecosystem poses challenges for green area planning in the city. The spreading of new diseases is a potential threat not only to species but also to humans. Ageing population and a deteriorated physical condition caused by lifestyle habits were considered as vulnerabilities that weaken the ability of Turku to react to this risk.1910002018{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[22.2666, 60.4518]}2019-10-16T18:33:19.143
