The last several decades, the climate change, as one of the most serious environmental issues, has become a widely spread topic not only to individuals, but the whole international community. Weather extremities, such as tropical days, summer heat waves, switching of periods of extreme precipitation with periods of drought causing the decrease of water reserve capacities cannot simply be overlooked. Due to alarming climate situation, especially in urban zones, the adaptive measures are much needed, even necessary. One of the measures, known as blue-green infrastructure (henceforth BGI), in the UK considered a significant tool for the support of sustainable development in both urban and rural zones, represents a network of natural and semi-natural elements binding water and vegetation together, which can mitigate the harmful effects of climate change on ecosystems and natural resources, and improve the quality of life and health of people. The reasons, why the notion blue-green infrastructure is becoming known in Europe more and more, are connected to the problems with droughts, frequent life-threatening floods, extreme weather conditions and last but not least, with insufficient rainwater soaking due to non-permeable surfaces in urban zones. In order to make the process of adaptation to climate change systematic and complex, an adaptation plan is needed to enable the urban population to react to expected climate change impact, to emerging risks, as well as exploit the opportunities the climate change may bring. An inseparable part of the strategy to fulfil the Agenda 2030 and adopted targets of the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal is a new strategic plan for European Union member states which emphasizes the countryside protection with regard to the sustainable development in order to reach climate neutrality by 2050.
