Project summary:

Extreme weather events attributed to climate change are expected to increase in intensity and frequency even under the best-case climate scenario (1.5°C average temperature rise), exacerbating existing territorial stresses and further challenging regional authorities’ preparedness & adaptive capacities to operationally deal with emergencies (heatwaves, floods, coastal erosion) and build climate resilience.

A CLIMATE projekt 8 uniós országból 9 partnert fog össze, akik a klímapolitikájukat tekintve különböző szabályozási szinttel és operatív kompetenciával rendelkeznek. Céljuk, hogy olyan integrált éghajlat-politikai megközelítést vezessenek be, amely a területi sebezhetőség alapvető okaira fókuszál és elősegíti a proaktív katasztrófa-kezelést. A közös szakpolitikai tanulás és a tapasztalatcsere révén a partnerek javítani tudják területi szabályozásaikat, megerősítik kapacitásaikat:

- Advance regulatory convergence and multi-dimensional climate resilience planning

-Highlight the role of civil protection as an integral part of climate governance

-Deal with climate uncertainty and the lack of evidence-based risk/impact assessment

-Employ a bottom-up, socially inclusive approach to hazards management

-Mobilise investments for climate-resilient infrastructures

EXPECTED IMPACT

-8 improved policy instruments, benefiting managing authorities & stakeholders

-Increased capacity of 150 public administrations to formulate and implement fit-for-purpose, socially aware climate adaptation responses

-18M euros unlocked to support projects on risk/vulnerability studies, climate data management, surveillance systems, emergency response protocols, infrastructure upgrades, green urban interventions, ecological restoration and open governance structures

MAIN OUTPUTS

-6 workshops & 2 study visits to promote capacity building

-2-year joint policy planning procedures

-4 joint thematic studies on territorial needs and 47 good practices to guide policy improvements

-8 regional infodays, 1 EU-wide policy learning event
