    Hegyvidék, Budapest's greenest district, is turning private gardens into biodiversity oases to tackle climate change and promote eco-friendly living. The Green Office is leading this effort with initiatives like free composting boxes, native tree planting, and bird-friendly programs, encouraging residents to adopt sustainable practices. The study was written by Ferenc Albert Szigeti, coordinator of the Hungarian Hub for Nature-based Solutions, lead expert of the BiodiverCity network.
