Description
RESIST project aims to enhance the adaptive capacity of twelve climate-vulnerable EU regions through large-scale demonstrations of resilient innovations and knowledge transfer to eight twinning regions. Employing quintuple helix partnerships involving academia, business, government, and the public, the project promotes participative resilience approaches. RESIST aims to expedite the introduction of over 100 new climate change adaptation solutions, develop regional policies, and engage 22 million citizens, contributing to EU objectives on climate change adaptation.
The selected collaborating areas include four leading regions Southwest Finland, Central Denmark, Catalonia, and Central Portugal, to enhance their resilience to climate change. These leading regions, chosen for their high level of vulnerability and expertise in climate change adaptation (CCA), are pioneering innovative solutions to address climate-related challenges. Each leading region is paired with two less experienced but equally vulnerable twinning regions, including Normandy, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Blekinge, Zemgale, Puglia, Baixo Alentejo, Vesterålen, and Extremadura. Together, these regions are tackling floods, heatwaves, wildfires, drought, soil erosion, and rising sea levels by engaging local and regional governments, citizens, researchers, and businesses to develop sustainable resilience strategies.
