Abstract

Posljedice klimatskih promjena su sve više prisutne u našim životima i neizbježno
je da ćemo se morati prilagoditi. Ta prilagodba mora biti brza i proaktivna. Zato je
Europska Unija odlučila ubrzati proces prilagodbe i u skladu s Pariškim
sporazumom donijela Europski Zeleni plan koji predstavlja smjernice za ispunjenje
glavnog cilja Europske Unije, a taj je do 2050. postati klimatsko neutralni kontinent.
Ovdje u fokus dolaze gradovi i urbana područja, koja iako zauzimaju samo 4 %
površine Europske Unije, u njima živi 75 % stanovništva. Gradovi proizvode više od
65 % svjetske energije i broje više od 70 % svjetskih emisija stakleničkih plinova.
Sukladno navedenom, ovaj diplomski rad sagledat će ulogu gradova u smanjenju
emisija stakleničkih plinova i negativnog utjecaja na okoliš. Dat će pregled područja
na koja gradske vlasti imaju utjecaja i kojima mogu upravljati kako bi potakli održivi
urbani razvoj. Također će se analizirati postojeće metodologije za izradu strategija
razvoja zelenih gradova kao ključnog pristupa za stvaranje održivog urbanog
okoliša. Istražit će se smjernice u raznim sektorima koje je postavila Europska Unija
i Europska banka za obnovu i razvoj. Rad će se tako fokusirati na strategije koje su
primijenjene u različitim gradovima širom svijeta, istraživanjem će se analizirati
učinkovitost ovih strategija, identificirati njihove prednosti i nedostatke te razmotriti
izazove u implementaciji.

Abstract (english)

The consequences of climate change are increasingly present in our lives, and it is
inevitable that we will have to adapt. This adaptation must be swift and proactive.
That is why the European Union has decided to accelerate the adaptation process
and, in accordance with the Paris Agreement, has adopted the European Green
Deal, which is a guideline for meeting the main goal of the European Union - become
a climate-neutral continent by 2050.
This is where cities and urban areas come into focus, which, although they occupy
only 4 % of the area of the European Union, are home to 75 % of the population.
Cities produce more than 65 % of the world's energy and account for more than 70
% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.
In accordance with the above, this thesis will look at the role of cities in reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and negative impact on the environment. It will provide
an overview of the areas that city authorities have influence on and can manage to
encourage sustainable urban development. Existing methodologies for the
development of green city development strategies as a key approach for creating a
sustainable urban environment will also be analyzed. Guidelines in various sectors
set by the European Union and the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development will be explored. The thesis will focus on the strategies that have been
applied in different cities around the world, the research will analyze the
effectiveness of these strategies, identify their advantages and disadvantages, and
consider the challenges in implementation.
