Velika Gorica environmental and climate initiatives

Overview

Velika Gorica is implementing various environmental and sustainability initiatives. The city has focused on advancing waste management and recycling infrastructure to move toward a circular economy and achieve a ‘Zero Waste certificate’. Key developments included the opening of a recycling yard in Kurilovac in March 2025, which allows for the free disposal of over 40 types of waste, and the distribution of approximately 9,000 home composters to support bio-waste separation.

Building on these efforts, the city has expanded its focus to climate resilience through the LoRIS (Local Resilience to Climate Risks) project. In collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences Velika Gorica, the city launched a public survey to gather resident feedback on climate change, extreme weather impacts, and the necessity of green urban spaces. This survey serves as a component of the city’s Green Urban Renewal Strategy, utilizing data to inform future urban development and resilience planning.
