Assisting the adaptation to climate change of urban systems in the cross-border space (ADAPT)

The ADAPT project aims to provide the cross-border area with a joint plan for the prevention and reduction of risks arising from climate change with reference to urban floods, an effective tool for 1) management and governance, 2) reinforcing the knowledge and skills of institutional players and 3) communication and involvement of civil society. The ADAPT action plan is characterized by the joint and innovative approach of co-creation and experimentation between partners of integrated management and monitoring systems for adapting cities to climate change. The partners will undertake local pilot actions useful for improving the resilience of the project territory and the cross-border area, as the urban environments of the cooperation zone will show similar flood disasters in the presence of intense meteorological phenomena. Furthermore, the ADAPT action plan and the pilot actions can be used as examples of good practice and guideline documents for all urban environments with climatic profiles, morphological and socio-economic characteristics similar to those of the territorial systems involved in the project.
