Polish and German entrepreneurs, representatives of local government, non-governmental institutions and ecology organizations participated in the conference “Saxon-Lower Silesian cross-border cooperation in the field of the environment” at the Wrocław University of Technology.

The most important challenges in environmental protection in Lower Silesia are responsible use of resources, protection of natural environment, creation of green rings around urban agglomerations, development of renewable energy sources and the closed circle economy. The participants of the conference also drew attention to the deteriorating quality of ground and surface water as well as the uncontrolled spread of urban development and the degradation of the landscape.

Wroclaw University of Technology currently implements five projects jointly with Saxony. The cooperation between Saxony and the Wrocław Technical University officially began 10 years ago.
