Description:
The main objective of the LIFE IRIS project is to support enterprises in the Emilia-Romagna region, particular SMEs, in their efforts to become more climate-resilient; and to test the effectiveness of the adaptation measures applied through a cluster approach (industrial area and supply chain analysis).
The project will focus on:
- Fostering the diffusion of financial tools aiming to reward resilient enterprises or enterprises belonging to resilient industrial clusters;
- Promoting adaptation actions in the industry sector, based on an ecosystem approach;
- Developing green infrastructure and payments for ecosystem services (PES);
- Strengthening synergies among adaptation measures and other environmental issues, such as floods and droughts, water scarcity, biodiversity conservation, air quality and resource efficiency;
- Increasing the awareness of industrial and financial operators about the effects (threats and opportunities) of climate change on industrial production; and
- Defining opportunities for new green products and new green jobs related to the adoption of climate adaptation measures.
