Baseline Assessment Report: The Regional Climate Confidence Index

 This baseline assessment report is a collaborative effort of the twelve partners participating in the INTERREG IVC co-funded “Regions for Sustainable Change” project (RSC). The RSC project works to foster regions that are secure in their capability to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and effectively manage climate change impacts and future risks, and through that management to take advantage of the sizeable economic opportunities of moving towards a low carbon economy.

The  Regional  Climate  Confidence  Index  (RCCI)  gives  the RSC  partner  regions  the  opportunity  to  evaluate  their  capacities  in  managing  adaptation  to and  mitigation  of  climate  change  within  its territory and economy. The RCCI evaluates regions on seven key issues that are considered critical indicators of a region’s ability to respond to climate challenges.
