ClimEMPOWER

OBJECTIVE

ClimEmpower is dedicated to empowering five southern European regions, which are highly vulnerable to climate change and have low adaptive capacity, with the tools and strategies needed to enhance their resilience against climate impacts. Through the development of user-driven climate applications, capacity-building initiatives, and the sharing of best practices, the project aims to bolster local adaptation efforts.

KEY ACHIEVEMENTS 
ClimEmpower has successfully established five regional CoPs, uniting stakeholders from government, business, science, and society to collaboratively assess and address climate adaptation needs and capabilities. The project has also conducted a comprehensive review of available knowledge, datasets, and climate services, integrating them into a resilience toolbox that streamlines access to resources for informed decision-making. ClimEmpower is pioneering new interfaces to the C3S Climate Data Store and assessment services, facilitating the evaluation and comparison of various adaptation strategies. Furthermore, the project is actively developing guidance documents and educational materials to support ongoing capacity-building efforts across the regions.
