Climate mainstreaming locally in the Baltic Sea Region (CliMaLoc)

Description:

Climate mainstreaming locally in the Baltic Sea Region (CliMaLoc) is a project which aims to foster climate adaptation among the small and medium municipalities in the Baltic Sea Region. The project aims to make best use of existing knowledge and capacity in the region and Europe to support the exchange of best practices that will encourage municipalities to take steps towards climate adaptation even when resources and skills are scarce. To this end, the project partners have developed a Guide for Local Climate Change Adaptation Planning in the Baltic Sea Region, which provides guidance and recommendations on how to take the first steps in mainstreaming adaptation at local level through strategic approaches and cross-sectorial collaboration. 

The project, which is supported by the Swedish Institute, is led by the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) Secretariat, which has a long lasting experience in promoting climate action in the Baltic Sea Region being former coordinator of Horizontal Action Climate in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). The consortium includes the umbrella organisations of municipal governments and regions from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as the pan-Baltic organisation representing cities Union of Baltic Cities (UBC) – Sustainable Cities’ Commission and the one representing regions Baltic Sea States Sub-regional Cooperation (BSSSC).
