Alentejo Regional Programme 2021-2027 has two specific objectives that relate to RESUREXION project:
- RSO1.1 Develop and strengthen research and innovation capabilities and the adoption of advanced technologies. Supporting the following typology of measures:
012. Research and innovation activities in public research centres, educational establishments higher education and competence centres, including networking (industrial research, development experimental and feasibility studies)
029. Research and innovation processes, technology transfer and cooperation between companies, research centres and universities, focused on the low-carbon economy, resilience and adaptation to changes Climate
- RSO2.4 Promote climate change adaptation, disaster risk prevention and resilience, taking into account ecosystem-based approaches. Supporting the following typology of measures:
059. Measures to adapt to climate change and prevent and manage climate-related risks: fires (including awareness, …, disaster management systems and infrastructure, and ecosystem-based approaches)
064. Water management and conservation of water resources (including river basin management and specific measures to adapt to climate change).

The Delta Programme for Spatial Adaptation aims to accelerate and intensify the transition to climate-proof spatial planning, ensuring NL is better prepared for weather extremes. The programme focuses on seven key activities, with their outcomes regularly assessed for effectiveness every six years on a regional scale:
1. Mapping vulnerabilities through stress tests.
2. Conducting risk dialogues to determine acceptable levels of risk.
3. Developing an implementation agenda.
4. Linking to synergy opportunities with other national agendas.
5. Encouraging and facilitating climate adaptation through funding.
6. Supporting government authorities and market players in embedding and regulating objectives effectively.
7. Determining emergency responses to limit damages.

In the forthcoming assessment, extra attention will be paid to extreme weather resilience. This approach aligns with a three-point strategy to minimize the damage from such extreme events while maximizing the benefits and services provided by the implemented solutions in day-to-day situations. Special focus will be on the capacities in place for damage reduction, i.e. the threshold capacity to avoid damage, the coping capacity to minimise the direct damage of the event, the recovery capacity to allow for fast recovery and the adaptive capacity. This comprehensive strategy aims to enhance the overall resilience of the Netherlands, making it better equipped to handle the increasing challenges posed by climate change.

This plan is the result of the implementation, updating and monitoring of the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EC) in the Galicia-Costa area. It is the basic tool for the planning, management and development of water resources in Galicia-Costa and defines the new water policy to be followed. The plan is guided by criteria of sustainability through integrated management and long-term protection of water resources, prevention of deterioration of water status, protection and improvement of the aquatic environment and ecosystems and reduction of pollution.

The objectives of water planning and management in relation to climate change adaptation are to achieve water security for people, protection of biodiversity and socio-economic activities, reducing exposure and vulnerability to climate change and increasing resilience. Its fundamental developing tools are the Flood Risk Management Plan and the Special Drought Plan for the Galicia-Costa area, which are synergistic in their objectives and measures with the Hydrological Plan.

The plan includes a Programme of Measures for the period 2021 - 2027, a total of 196 measures with a total investment of over 1,8 billion euros for the period 2021-2027, which are organised by themes, including the theme of "extreme phenomena" in which 19 measures are planned and the theme of "climate change" in which 13 measures are planned directly connected with the Project.

A12. Coordination in case of emergencies
A13. EU strategy on climate adaptation
A14. Monitoring climate resilience

The DRM UN aims at enhancing capabilities of DRM within Ungheni city in order to make it resilient. The three specific objectives of the Policy Instrument (PI) are channelled to:
1. Understanding disaster risks
2. Strengthening Disaster Risk Management
3. Increasing the resilience of the city through investments

Implementation of the DRM Strategy is requiring long-term commitment, based on clearly defined principles, such as:
- Sustainable development focusing on planning and mobilisation of existing resources, by involving and meeting the economic, social and environmental objectives of the city, in short, medium and long term;
- Disaster risk prevention and reduction are the primary responsibility of the local public administration, sharing the responsibilities between local public authorities and beneficiaries;
The principles of adequate Risk Management were adopted by the project „Disaster Risk Management Capacity Development for Cities in Eastern Neighbourhood Countries”, which supported the comprehensive risk assessment to identify and prioritize the hazards, vulnerabilities, and exposure of water infrastructure to extreme weather events.

The project will focus on enhancing the DRM UN, enabling the resilience of water infrastructure to withstand and recover from extreme weather impacts. This includes rethinking existing infrastructure, incorporating nature-based solutions, adopting innovative technologies to improve resistance to flooding and other hazards.

The policy document’s objective is to develop the cross-organisational management of storm water in the city of Turku, raise awareness, make storm water a resource for urban development, to promote the achievement of good water status and to prevent and prepare for urban flooding. The policy describes the responsibilities for storm water management, the framework for storm water management, the objectives, and measures for improving storm water management and the need for further studies

The City of Turku’s Stormwater Programme serves as a comprehensive policy framework aimed at mitigating urban flooding, reducing stormwater pollution, and enhancing resilience to climate change. This policy was developed in response to the city's densifying urban structure, increasing impermeable surfaces, and the anticipated impacts of climate change, including more extreme weather events and rising sea levels. It establishes a prioritized approach to stormwater management: emphasizing on-site treatment and delay, diversion through green infrastructure, and controlled discharge into water bodies.

TUAS and the City work closely together on implementing this policy framework. In line with the FI legal framework, TUAS is entrusted with concrete policy implementation work. TUAS plays a strong and concrete role in operationalising policy execution.

The Lemvig Climate Adaptation Plan (LCAP) focuses on mitigating flooding by addressing key climate risks, including extreme rainfall, storm surges, landslides, coastal erosion, rising groundwater levels, and the impacts of increasing temperatures and drought in rivers. LCAP addresses Lemvig Municipality's territory and was drafted in 2023. The plan emphasizes a collaborative approach to climate resilience, as the Danish approach of shared responsibility for policy development and implementation of climate resilience measures makes multi-stakeholder engagement essential.

The enhancement of the LCAP will particularly address the further enhancement of citizen-centered dialogue tools to ensure balanced local climate efforts, linked to extreme weather events. It is closely linked to municipal planning, providing an opportunity to strengthen the data basis for climate adaptation maps and guidelines. This alignment helps integrate green-grey infrastructure solutions with necessary permits. Additionally, the plan aims to harmonize climate protection measures with existing nature conservation regulations, requiring careful, participative planning to ensure effective and inclusive climate solutions.
