Why in Ukraine
Hutsuls teach children to respect
rainDuring
2016-2017 in Bogdan village, one of the villages
highly located in the Ukrainian mountains activities in
reference to climate change were taking place. The
biggest problems, as the events of recent years have
shown, are destructive floods, mudflows and, at the same
time, lack of drinking water, which is caused by
intensive climate change, in certain tracts of the
village in summer. Based on the local Adaptation
Plan and the risks defined a reservoir
for collecting rain water for houshold use was installed
on the kindergarten in the Carpatian mountain village as
one of the small-scale adaptation projects. For
