This project launched in October 2011 and officially ending at the end of September 2016. At the heart of this project was the desire to co-create working links between different agencies involved in city-making, with communities at the centre. In the end, TURAS devised over 80 different novel ideas and processes that would enable communities to transition to a more resilient future. These results are currently accessible from the TURAS website and in the future will be accessible from Oppla - a new knowledge marketplace where the latest thinking on ecosystem services, natural capital and nature-based solutions is brought together. Although...
UNaLab is a project funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The UNaLab consortium is comprised of 28 partners from 10 cities across Europe and beyond, including municipalities, research, business and industry. The UNaLab partner cities commit to addressing the challenges that cities around the world are facing today, by focusing on climate and water related issues, within an innovative and citizen-driven paradigm. With 3 demonstration cities, 7 replication cities and several observers, the UNaLab project aims to develop smarter, more inclusive, more resilient and increasingly sustainable...
URBAN GreenUP is a project funded under the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. Its objective is the development, application and replication of Renaturing Urban Plans in a number of European and non-European partner cities with the aim to mitigate the effects of climate change, improve air quality and water management, as well as to increase the sustainability of our cities through innovative nature-based solutions.
weADAPT is a collaborative platform on climate adaptation issues. It allows practitioners, researchers and policy-makers to access credible, high-quality information and connect with one another. It is designed to facilitate learning, exchange, collaboration and knowledge integration to build a professional community of research and practice on adaptation issues while developing policy-relevant tools and guidance for adaptation planning and decision-making.
RECONNECT aims to contribute to European reference framework on Nature Based Solutions (NBSs) by demonstrating, referencing and upscaling large scale NBSs and by stimulating a new culture for 'land use planning' that links the reduction of risks with local and regional development objectives in a sustainable way. To do that, RECONECT draws upon the network of carefully selected Demonstrators and Collaborators that cover a range of local conditions, geographic characteristics, governance structures and social/cultural settings to successfully upscale NBSs throughout Europe and Internationally.
The OPERANDUM (OPEn-air laboRAtories for Nature baseD solUtions to Manage environmental risks) project develops nature-based solutions (NBSs) to mitigate the impact of hydro-meteorological phenomena in risk-prone areas. Within OPERANDUM, nature-based solutions (NBSs) will be tested as mitigating factors to flooding, landslides, coastal erosion, droughts and salt intrusion on extra-urban territories. Nature-based solutions will include the use of vegetation to re-enforce river banks, basins and the co-design, co-development and realization of vegetated sand dunes to reduce the coastal erosion.
NetworkNature is a resource for the nature-based solutions community, creating opportunities for local, regional and international cooperation to maximise the impact and spread of nature-based solutions. The project is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme.
limate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. People and states worldwide are already affected by its destructive impacts. Especially developing countries are vulnerable to global warming and its consequences. Adaptation to climate change is a strategy with the ultimate goal of avoiding harm and costs that can arise from doing business as usual without taking climate change into consideration.
The Paris Agreement underlines the importance of adaptation and anchors the need for it in the international agenda. With the adoption of the Paris Agreement, its global goal on adaptation has been set as an indispensable component of...
For a living mountain in the face of climate change: facilitating the adaptation of the forests of the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Natural Park
This project is part of the LIFE Artisan programme and aims to adapt the forests of the French Pyrenees to climate change.
Several new management technics will be tested in the French Pyrenees such as :
• Tree's stand renewal
• Management to facilitate the establishment and growth of future natural regeneration
• Facilitating the establishment of an understorey that will protect the development of future seedlings against overheating and windstorms
• Management to enhance the natural...
MEDACC is a European LIFE project which tests innovative solutions geared towards adapting Mediterranean agroforestry and urban systems to the impacts of climate change. It contributes to the design and development of adaptation strategies and policies being implemented regionally and nationally in the Euro-Mediterranean area. In Catalonia, the project has been a highly valuable tool relative to implementation of the Catalan Climate Change Strategy (ESCACC 2013-2020). In that regard, a series of experimental adaptation measures in the agriculture, forest management and water management sectors have been launched after being designed and...
