Regional policy
16 voivodships, 314 poviats and 2,477 communes. Each of them is a small homeland for millions of Poles. Each of them struggles with its own historical baggage and local conditions. Some local governments are shrouded in dense smog fog. Some are threatened by desertification and water shortages. Still others have to face the inevitable energy transformation and the transformation of entire sectors of the economy that have driven the local labor market over the years. Despite the differences and different starting points, they still have a lot in common - the need to fight smog, measures to improve recycling, and investments in the development of clean collective transport. Regardless of the central policy, it is at the local, regional level that many decisions are made that have a real impact on the lives of the inhabitants. These choices, in turn, can bring us closer or further away from the ecological goals that lie ahead. The vision and commitment of local governments is crucial. After all, Poland will not go green by itself. It will flourish only when there is no shortage of ideas, work and determination by local authorities.
