Adaptation AGORA – A Gathering place to cO-design and co-cReate Adaptation (Adaptation AGORA)

AGORA promotes societal transformation to empower local communities to address the climate crisis. This can be achieved through a multidisciplinary, integrated approach and four living laboratories all around Europe. These pilot regions are located in Rome (Italy), Zaragoza (Spain), Dresden (Germany) and Malmö (Sweden). In addition to the regions and communities selected for the pilot studies, other districts, provinces, and geographical districts within these countries will be involved as “followers” participating and learning from the AGORA initiative, also joining the mission on adaptation.  

Indeed, AGORA is a growing community to co-create and share advanced tools to enhance awareness on climate change and on possible adaptation solutions. AGORA is also the meeting point where citizens and policymakers share knowledge, practices, expertise and needs, based on scientific knowledge to design, and build a more resilient Europe through a living dialogue between local communities. On the one hand, informed citizens can actively participate in public life giving their contribution to ensure safe and sustainable local development. On the other hand, public administrations can benefit from the expertise of this project’s partners to identify solutions to address climate change impacts, defining them upon local needs and sharing them with citizens. This will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the implementation of adaptation measures.
