RESIST

Regions for climate change resilience through Innovation, Science and Technology

Execution Period: 01/2023 – 12/2027 (on going)

Approved Budget: 25 M€

Objectives:

RESIST has emerged from the need to make regions more resilient to climate change. The project will test climate change adaptation (CCA) solutions in four EU regions: Southwest Finland, Central Denmark, Catalonia and Central Portugal. Know-how and adaptation pathways will be transferred from the four demonstrator regions to eight twinned regions through mutual-learning activities and immersive digital twins.

The project will engage 12 European regions with different socioeconomic profiles that will test adaptation solutions to five key climate challenges: floods, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and soil erosion.

O projeto envolve:

Exchange of experience and transfer of know-how from more experienced to less experienced regions.

Use of Graphical Digital Twin (GDT) to provide additional information and decision support.

Resultados:

New regional measures, policy instruments and social and technological solutions in 12 regions involving 22 million citizens.

Increase the regions’ resilience by 10%.

Increase green investment levels by 20%.

Reducing economic losses due to hazards such as flooding by 14%.

Reduce the lack of climate protection by 50%.

Go-to-market of 100 new Climate Change solutions.
