Polish mountain resorts fail to meet climate standards

Resorts in the Polish mountains earn millions of zlotys a year in climate fees. Meanwhile, according to a ClientEarth report, virtually none of them meet the standards to charge them.

The climate and environmental compliance organization examined the situation in 35 mountain municipalities. It put under the microscope localities such as Karpacz, Poronin, Rabka-Zdrój, and Zakopane. The report's conclusions are striking: none of the resorts examined meet legal air quality standards. Despite this, these municipalities charge so-called climate fees. The ClientEarth Foundation does not doubt that municipalities that charge local fees despite the smog are breaking the law.
