Quick Guides to Climate Adaptation
Developed by REGILIENCE+ under the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, the Quick Guides for Climate Adaptation transform European experience and expertise into practical support for local and regional authorities. Each guide focuses on a major climate risk - including coastal floods, droughts, flash floods, heatwaves, ice and snow, river floods, storms, and wildfires - and provides concrete actions that can be implemented on the ground.

Piedmont shows how climate adaptation in water management can advance when technological innovation goes hand in hand with stronger coordination.
Tyrol demonstrates the value of simulations and foresight to guide adaptation to climate change. By creating a digital twin of a vulnerable building, MountResilience is exploring future heat scenarios and comparing adaptation options without costly trial and error.
MountResilience partners in Lapland have adopted a multi-actor approach, involving municipalities, researchers, reindeer herders, and tourism companies in developing tailored adaptation plans.
Valais demonstrates how digital tools can translate complex climate and water data into accessible and practical knowledge.
MountResilience partners have held workshops and surveys to gather the views of local stakeholders on Gabrovo’s climate adaptation needs and how a new Green Infrastructure Strategy could help.
As part of Mafra’s Strategic Plan for the Rehabilitation of Watercourses, two sites along the Lizandro River showcase how Nature-based Solutions enhance ecological functionality - fostering biodiversity and strengthening the region’s resilience to climate change.
In Lyon, many homes are vulnerable to property damage due to ground movement caused by clay shrinkage and swelling events. Educating homeowners about their potential insurance risks, how to address them, and preventive measures can increase resilience and reduce damage costs.
Within the RESIST project, the region of Southwest Finland focuses on strengthening regional climate change adaptation, particularly in relation to water-related challenges such as floods and droughts.
Droughts are recurrent climatic events in the region. Investments made in recent years created water storage systems to cope with the scarcity, but more investments must be promoted in order to face future challenges.
Catalonia has been continuously affected by climate and extreme weather events such as floods, heatwaves, wildfires, and droughts. Civil Protection plays a crucial role in providing action plans and coordinating resources in natural risk disaster management.
