Forms for: Adapting to Climate Change through Territorial Strategies (F:ACTS!)

Description:

It is undeniable that climate change causes dramatic weather conditions, causing floods, droughts or forest fires. F:ACTS! is focused on risk prone areas that lack resilience to respond to and recover from extreme weather conditions, due to climate change. F:ACTS! works for making these vulnerable areas more resilient. The project works with 5 pilot projects. These pilots are all areas facing droughts, floods or forest fires. Partners are looking for solutions for these specific areas, which will serve as examples for areas in Europe facing similar problems. The solutions found will be shared so that they can be implemented all over Europe. FACTS will help regions of Europe work together to share experience and good practice in the areas of innovation, the knowledge economy, the environment and risk prevention. The common objective is to deliver lessons in the following three principles: - Transforming a technical climate adaptation approach in a people centered approach - Improving multi-sectoral and multi-level governance approaches - Identifying and elaborating economically viable approaches.
