Kuressaare together with Nasva on Saaremaa island (Estonia) offer a small-scale island city pilot environment for testing innovative urban green-blue infrastructure maintenance and climate adaptation measures.
Kuressaare and Nasva represent a small island urban system where climate resilience depends on understanding and preserving historical drainage networks while developing innovative circular water management solutions.
Saaremaa Municipality is the largest municipality in Estonia by area and the largest municipality in the country governed as a rural municipality. Located on Saaremaa island in the Baltic Sea, the municipality combines urban centre with rural communities, coastal areas and environmentally valuable natural landscapes. The capital city is Kuressaare with population of 12 366.
We are interested in joining a consortium under the CUE Topic 2 or 3.
Saaremaa Rural Municipality can contribute as:
A municipality partner fulfilling the local authority requirement of the DUT call.
A pilot and demonstration territory for testing innovative solutions in small-city, rural and island contexts.
A facilitator for testing and evaluating practical solutions in real-life municipal settings.
Our main goal is to create climate-resilient stormwater corridor mapping and nature-based flood prevention in a small coastal towns (Kuressaare and Nasva).
