The Lyon case study within the PIISA project develops an insurance-linked decision-support tool which assesses adaptation clay shrinkage and swelling (CSS) risks, which occur when clay-rich soils contract during dry periods and expand again during wet periods. Such risks are being exacerbated by...

The RESIST project, funded through Horizon Europe as part of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, aims to strengthen climate resilience and accelerate adaptation in vulnerable European regions by implementing large-scale demonstrations of innovative adaptation solutions and transferring...

This Solution highlights how adapting management practices can safeguard forests under a changing climate. Climate-smart forestry that combines adaptation, mitigation and stakeholder cooperation to boost resilience, carbon storage and multifunctional benefits.

Antwerp's Cool Spots is a model for heat-resilient cities. Building on a thematic study on heat stress at the city level, Antwerp developed its climate plan, which includes identifying heat stress areas and implementing a Cool Spots programme, garden streets, future trees, and private greening...

Restoring the Vendié River’s natural bends and floodplain to recharge groundwater, reduce drought and flooding, filter pollution and rebuild wetland biodiversity. The Vendié River restoration reverses decades of channelisation, reconnecting the river with its floodplain and reactivating the wetland...

The project enhances the natural and artificial recharge of the Garonne’s alluvial aquifer to sustain low flows during droughts, to cool water temperatures and to restore hydraulic connectivity within the river and its connected wetlands.

Peatland restoration in Tallinn followed a nature-based approach that required hydrological restoration and subsequent monitoring, while keeping the interventions community-based through adaptive infrastructure that allows for public access.
