Located on the Black Sea coast in eastern Bulgaria, Burgas is an important port city and economic hub known for its maritime industries, tourism and transport connections. With a population of around 200,000, the city combines coastal urban areas with nearby lakes and protected wetlands that are central to its natural environment. Burgas has a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers, mild winters and increasing exposure to heatwaves, coastal flooding and extreme weather events linked to rising sea levels and changing rainfall patterns.
Climate action in Burgas is closely connected to its coastal location and the need to balance economic activity with environmental protection. Tourism, transport and energy use in buildings all contribute to local emissions, while climate change poses growing risks to infrastructure, ecosystems and water management. The city has increasingly focused on integrating resilience into urban planning and long-term development.
Key priorities include sustainable mobility, energy-efficient renovation and the protection of coastal and wetland areas that help reduce climate impacts. Burgas is also investing in greener public spaces and cleaner transport while working with local institutions, businesses and residents to support climate awareness and participation. Its approach reflects the challenges faced by coastal cities adapting to climate change while maintaining economic growth and quality of life.
