A contract for carrying out the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme was signed on Friday by the ministers of funds and climate and Norway's ambassador to Poland, securing Poland EUR 140 million from the Norway Grants for the programme.

A further EUR 24.7 million will come from Poland's own coffers.

"Raising Poles' quality of life seems to be the ambition at the centre of the programme," Climate Minister MichaƂ Kurtyka said. "We will invest in heating stations, cogeneration, geothermal energy, hydro-energy, energy efficiency. But in parallel, we will think how the city of the future should look, hence the component of rural policy, green development and blue infrastructure, which is important to us."
