Building greater local climate resilience
Green
The European Union recognizes the growing severity of climate-related challenges and allocates financial support to local communities through the European Structural and Investment Funds to enhance resilience.
The strategy promotes nature-based solutions, emphasizing green infrastructure and encouraging local initiatives for climate-proofing, resilience building, and prevention at the community level.
The session's objectives include providing participants with an overview of ongoing Interreg Europe projects focused on climate adaptation and nature-based solutions, exploring good practices and tools for enhancing local climate resilience, and fostering interactive discussions among participants and projects.
