Project "Local Development Resistant to Climate Change" is implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia, supported by the UN Development Program (UNDP) and the Global Fund for the Environment. Partners on the project are: EU Delegation to the Republic of Serbia, Government of the Kingdom of Sweden, Government of Switzerland, as well as other national partners (Innovation Fund, Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities, etc.).

The project supports finding innovative solutions to combat climate change, especially at the level of local self-governments in the Republic of Serbia. The goal is to challenge, identify and support various software, technical and technological solutions and business ideas which local governments can implement in order to provide public services that are "resistant to climate change" through public calls. At the same time, the project should support local governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also to plan local development in order to adapt and become more resilient to climate change, which will improve the daily lives of citizens and the economic development of municipalities will be put in a way of sustainability.

Public Challenges Calls refer to the „Challenge of Open Data Relevant to Climate Change at the Local Level“ and the „Challenge for Innovative Solutions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions at the Local Level“ and are open to anyone who can offer adequate solutions (local self-governments, business sector, scientific research institutions, civil society organizations, etc.). The goal is to support the solutions that the project will support, be applied at the level of local governments and respond to the needs and priorities of the local governments, in those sectors which are important for combat climate change (energy, transport, waste management, agriculture, ).
