Békéscsaba has implemented several complementary measures in recent years within the framework of the LIFE IP HungAIRy project.

On 14 November 2025, the Békéscsaba partner of the LIFE IP HungAIRy project held a press event combined with a ceremonial tree planting, attended by Dr. Anikó Raisz, State Secretary for Environmental Affairs at the Ministry of Energy.

Thanks to the LIFE IP HungAIRy project titled “Improving air quality at eight Hungarian regions through the implementation of air quality plan measures”, the city of Békéscsaba is now able to carry out extensive tree planting initiatives.

As there was previously no automatic air quality monitoring station in Békéscsaba, installation of a continuous monitoring station was one of the objectives of the HungAIRy LIFE integrated project to collect information on air quality.
