Drought is a problem that affects us every day. Despite occasional periods of increased rainfall, Poland still ranks among the countries most at risk of water shortages. One of Wide Vision’s goals is to raise public awareness of the scale of the problem and ways to combat drought, the best of which is retention.
The yellow phase marks a transition from informing about the drought threat (red phase) to active participation from various groups in developing solutions, which will increase the acceptance and sustainability of drought prevention measures. Practical findings are being collected from farmers, local governments, experts, and scientists, allowing for better adaptation of the uDECP to local conditions and needs. We are also working to increase public awareness. Through multi-channel communication – social media, videos, and educational materials – we are helping to shift the approach from reactive (only in crisis situations) to proactive (taking the initiative).

Effects of Wide Vision activities:
One of the main goals of the yellow phase of the campaign is to translate expert knowledge into communication that is understandable to a broad audience. We planned how to present the complex issues of drought and retention in an engaging way, without losing the substance. We also balanced local and national perspectives to ensure that solutions take into account regional differences (e.g., climatic conditions, soil types, land use structure). While preparing for the public consultation, we are constantly engaged in dialogue with both the client and the target groups, ensuring we reach a diverse audience. However, this is not the end – the fight against drought continues, and we are already preparing for the next phase.
