This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
LIFE NAdapta project intends to foresee changes that may occur through the development of adaptation measures that will both limit the negative effects resulting from those changes and take advantage of the positive ones.
Within this project, there is a specific area to adapt the built environment to climate change. A roadmap of innovative management models to be implemented in urban and rural areas that must be adapted to the climate change has been developed. For that reason, it is important to increase knowledge of the built heritage of Navarra in order, from an in-depth knowledge of it, to define the measures and investments to adapt the built park to climate change, to increase energy efficiency and to generate policy coordinated for its implementation through the roadmap already mentioned.
The diagnosis will be done by the GIS viewer developed under LIFE NAdapta. It collects Navarra region and all residential stock at the level of cadastral parcels with an important battery of physical data on the dwellings in each parcel and socioeconomic data at the census tract level. In this viewer, the climatic classification of each municipality of Navarra and its foreseeable evolution based on the scenarios are also collected.
This viewer allows the access to municipalities' data to characterize their level of vulnerability to CC and enables to set criteria for prioritizing energy efficiency actions and monitoring the adaptation results to be achieved in future actions.

Resources needed
The methodology of data analysis to be followed: 18,148.79€
The implementation and updating are done by internal staff of NASUVINSA.

Evidence of success
The viewer is an important tool to prioritize areas in each municipality. Thereof, NASUVINSA staff, within ELENA-PRIMAVERA project, is using the viewer to prioritize the areas in each municipality where energy efficiency and climate chage adaptation actions will be implemented. In fact, in October 2021, the viewer has been used in 21 municipalities where PRIMAVERA team is working. More than 11.000 dwellings are involved.
Potential for learning or transfer
In fact, a similar system could be applied in any region.
The viewer is developed to be applied in any region, city council or administration, but always adapting to the characteristics of the scale.
