“…Action taken by local governments based on cross-border cooperation includes: the elimination of ecological bombs, monitoring of pollution in rivers and reservoirs, creation of small retention points, restoration of wetland habitats, and the restoration of valleys and small watercourses. "Paradiplomacy" (Modzelewski, 2013) also involves preventive and biosecurity activities in relation to wild animals. It should take into account livestock corridors, the precise localisation of disease outbreaks, the registration of fallen game and joint sanitary inspections of farms by veterinary services.…”

Criteria for assessing action undertaken by border municipalities towards a “green smart city”

The article presents a proposal for a research tool that might assess the ecological activity of municipalities, with particular emphasis on those that lie on national boundaries. With climate change, it has become necessary to take into account the principles of sustainable growth while maintaining high living standards in the long term. Systematic research on the action undertaken by municipalities in this area is a necessary requirement in the coming years. For this reason, the main directions and areas of research in the process of approaching the concept of a “green smart city” have been outlined. The available literature is limited to research in the field of smart cities and examines solutions for large urban agglomerations. The evaluation criteria of “ecological maturity” proposed in this paper are designed for small border municipalities. One may accept the thesis that due to their specificity, location, natural diversity and the opportunities for cooperation with a foreign partner that they offer, border municipalities can create a model of ecological behaviour in terms of a “green smart city”. This evolution requires support and monitoring for policymakers, and the proposed online research tool may reveal “ecological immaturities”, decisional errors or just plain negligence. One might only hope that, as a result of these indications, the recommendations will prove valuable for all local government units. On the other hand, a number of doubts and dilemmas are raised that researchers are unable to eliminate at this stage.
