Krásná Lípa (Czechia) has implemented a targeted nature-based solutions (NBS) strategy under the Land4Climate project that is centred on a landscape-scale revitalisation of the floodplain through a series of interconnected, small-scale interventions on private land.
Drenthe developed the Drenthe Adaptation Picture (DAB), an innovative regional climate adaptation support platform that brings together multiple datasets into one decision-support system. The platform strengthens climate resilience by combining hazard mapping, sectoral analysis & spatial planning.
Through nature-based solutions, ecological restoration, sustainable land management and community-focused practices, the project aims to revitalise biodiversity, improve water quality and enhance climate resilience while supporting local livelihoods.
MountResilience is combining new services, data driven innovation and sustainable tourism transition to build climate resilience in the Austrian Alpine regions.
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.
Supported through LAND4CLIMATE, Euskirchen established Nature-Based Solution interventions to address climate hazards including Tiny Forest and Climate Park Inauguration and Public-Private Partnerships.
Lappeenranta served as a demonstrator site of the TransformAr project. As part of the demonstrator, the project combines technological solutions for storm water management and run-off treatment with innovative citizen engagement tools.
A model for heat-resilient cities, in Antwerp, Belgium. Understanding how cross-sector partnerships, citizen co-design and smart monitoring can scale up cooling solutions to tackle urban heat.
Scaling up nature-based solutions for regional resilience: lessons from Arcadia’s living labs and a replicable framework for multifunctional climate adaptation interventions.
One area of focus for the MIRACA project is on analysing the impact of landslides and climate-change-driven flooding on the reliability of Slovenia’s power and gas networks.
MIRACA aims to develop and validate a decision-support toolkit that helps authorities identify climate-risk-prone regions and implement cost-effective adaptation measures. This case study addresses the impacts of drought, heatwave and wildfire compound hazards on road networks in Catalonia.
This MIRACA case study aims to better understand the risks and impacts of flooding, both from precipitation and overflowing water bodies, on essential electricity and telecommunications.
This MIRACA case study aims to understand how vulnerable educational facilities and hospitals are to single and compound hazards, including floods, landslides and earthquakes as standalone hazards or in different combinations, in Central Macedonia. It focuses on the asset-level vulnerabilities.
The MIRACA project aims to develop and validate a decision-support toolkit that helps authorities identify climate-risk-prone regions and implement cost-effective adaptation measures to enhance the climate resilience of the EU’s critical infrastructure.
In Barcelona, increasing heavy rainfall and storm surges are causing more frequent combined sewer overflows. To protect public health, the IMPETUS project developed a predictive model and an early warning system (EWS) that improves the monitoring and management of bathing water quality.
The Basque Country has developed a strong climate adaptation framework, combining long-term strategic planning with concrete action. A regional climate change law and adaptation roadmap translate the climate change strategy of the Basque Country to 2050 into operational resilience measures.
One of the IMPETUS project's five demonstration sites tackles the arctic biogeographical region, Troms County, where it has developed solutions including a digital twin, a marine spatial planning framework, avalanche and slush flow assessment and guidelines for citizen juries and virtual reality.
The LIFE Soria ForestAdapt project demonstrates how forests can better withstand heat, drought and wildfires while also delivering benefits for biodiversity, local economies and soil health.
By combining digital decision-support tools, community participation and cross-regional learning, the Baixo Alentejo region is enhancing preparedness, protecting rural landscapes and building long-term resilience against heatwaves, wildfires and desertification.
Adapting to rising temperatures, drought and humid winters in Bulgaria through green infrastructure and early warning systems in the MountResilience project .
