Europe is increasingly affected by more frequent and intense extreme weather events, with severe impacts on urban and catchment areas, including human losses, displacement, and major economic damage. These trends highlight the urgent need to strengthen long-term climate resilience by improving and better aligning existing policy instruments across governance levels, particularly in the fields of spatial planning and water management.
RESUREXION contributes to this goal by enhancing multilevel resilience strategies through interregional cooperation. Its innovative approach focuses on improving the coherence, practicability, and effectiveness of policies from different sectors and governance levels that shape water management in urban and catchment contexts.
The project aims to strengthen climate resilience by fostering structured policy exchange and cooperation, creating a more integrated and synergic policy framework. Through policy learning and policy assessment , RESUREXION helps local and regional authorities develo more practical and effective responses to climare-related extreme events.
