Climate Resilient Communities of Central Europe

Programme 2021 - 2027 Interreg VI-B Central Europe

Date of latest update: 2025-03-13

Description

Description (EN):

Like the rest of the world, CE is facing climate change related challenges, like changed precipitation patterns (floods, water scarcity..) heat waves (urban heat, food production) etc., recognized by the programme SO 2.2. The main challenge of MISSION CE CLIMATE is overcoming silo/sectoral response to climate change practiced today by communities of Central Europe, by introducing coordinated, cross-sectoral approach that puts local/regional authorities in center spot of management of climate resilience process. The overall objective is to support the communities of CE to become climate resilient and enable them to react with coordinated response to processes caused by climate change. The project will build durable systems (Community Climate Missions) and capacities in communities (integrated strategy, local action plans, solutions), acting beyond sectoral approach by introducing cross-sectoral governance with strong participation of citizens. The projects approach is innovative as it is implementing the concept designed by 2020 EC Mission: A Climate Resilient Europe in practice for the first time by introducing coordinated cross-sectoral adaptation system. The main project results are - climate resilience systems set-up in partner communities (Community Climate Missions), supported by joint climate resilience 2030 strategy (defining measures, business models, financing mechanisms) and locally adapted action plans (project portfolio approach); - increased capacities of communities to adapt to climate change by new knowledge and tools; - activated citizens to contribute to climate resilience of communities with increased awareness and capacities (tools etc.); - solutions developed through pilots answering community adaptation challenges in coordinated, cross-sectoral approach using nature - based solutions and digital tools. Co-creation of solutions by number of different communities and technical partners is critical to provide usable and transferable solutions.

Actual Achievements (EN):

In the scope of Work Package 1 the goal is to establish Climate Resilient Missions in pilot territories. To this purpose, a joint roadmap portraying the methodology for setting up Climate Resilient Missions was developed and applied by PPs at local level. The steps taken led to the set up of the Community Climate Resilience Missions going through the mapping of stakeholders, the identification of objectives and activities, the definition of assessment criteria and the actual signing of the Memorandum of Understanding. For each local Mission, a communication campaign was also designed and launched. Four training sessions were delivered for project partners and members of community climate missions with the purpose of providing a baseline knowledge on climate challenges, adaptation and resilience. Following the guidelines developed within the project, for each Mission a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment was carried out. Within the WP2 focused on Catalyzing Climate Resilience of Communities through Pilot Projects the Deliverable 2.1.1 Joint transnational pilot project framework has been created. This document represents guidelines for project partners for implementation of six pilot projects within the pilot project areas. This deliverable D2.1.1 is composed of main document which serves as a knowledge base and related annexes needed for precise pilot design and monitoring of pilots’ progress. Project partners have prepared Pilot design reports for their respective pilot areas where details of planned pilot solutions are described in the pilot activites including the definition of backround for pilot solution selection. In WP2 the Deliverable 2.3.1 Transnational pilot replication ecosystem design and action plan has been prepared. This deliverable serves as a platform for permanent co-design, co-implementation and joint promotion of pilot projects as well as for transfer of pilots to non-partner communities. Action plan has been created within the deliverable and it will be monitored during the next periods in order to ensure the effectiveness of its activities by measuring the stakeholders` engagement. In Work Package 3, the activities were concentrated on A3.1 Developing a Community Resilience Knowledge Base, and A3.3 Designing Climate resilience tool for citizen, in accordance with the overall timeline of the project as define din the AF. Building on the desktop research performed on the following topics (outlined below), the content for each of the topic was deepened and compiled in a series of slides, providing the basis for the knowledge-base (D.3.1.1) and the tool for citizens (D.3.3.1):  Overall concept of climate resilience for cities  Overview of categories of practices  Organisational concept  Tools for cities and citizens  Business models and funding instruments In addition the capacity building activities for stakeholders to be organised following the setup of climate missions in each project region were defined.

UPSURGE - City-centered approach to catalyze nature-based solutions through the EU Regenerative Urban Lighthouse for pollution alleviation and regenerative development (Horizon 2020) (EN) | The UPSURGE is a Horizon 2020 project that started in Sept.2021 (48 mo) under the co-ordination of E-zavod. It’s introducing nature based solutions to urban areas for mitigation of environmental pressures (air-pollution, urban heat etc.) It will run in parallel with the MISSION CE CLIMATE and provides opportunity for mutual learning and upscaling of innovative UPSURGE solutions through our project. UPSURGE also concentrate the high-end knowledge on NBS providing pool of expertise for the MISSION CE CLIMATE Advisory Team. (EN), EIT Climate-KIC – Future Cities of South-East Europe (EN) | The project is a multi-annual process aiming at establishing local multi-stakeholders teams in partner cities (like Sarajevo, Križevci, Skopje, Niš, Maribor) that are acting as local task force of transformation of cities to carbon-neutral and climate-resilient. Teams are assisted by experts coming from EIT Climate-KIC and its members. The City of Maribor is playing an active part in the project. Experiences from this process will be very beneficial at igniting Climate Missions in MISSION CE CLIMATE project. (EN), LIFE - Thriving Communities Energy Incubator (EN) | The project was submitted on January 2021 to LIFE call. If successful, project aims at setting-up a system of local incubators for supporting citizen-led energy projects in the area of South-east Europe (Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Greece). Local HUBs will be set-up by local stakeholders which can also be up-scaled to Climate Missions with the up-scaling activities of MISSION CE CLIMATE project. Two partners are participating in both proposals (TUKE, E-zavod). (EN), UNITED NATIONS MAKING CITIES RESILIENT 2030 Initiative (EN) | It is a global platform providing methods (3-stage roadmap to urban resilience) that are already tested in several communities and MISSION CE CLIMATE will use that platform (E-zavod is an expert member of the MCR 2030 community) at designing solution for communities. It also provides tool for transfer of solutions. (EN), 2020 EC Mission: A Climate Resilient Europe (EN) | Lead partner was communicating the MISSION CE CLIMATE proposal with the representatives of the EU Mission where it was agreed that the project and especially experiences of the communities involved can be presented at Mission Forum(s) organized each year and that they would welcome the communities to engage into the EU Mission 200 Climate Resilient communities process..

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

EuropeanGreenDeal Under the Green Deal package, the EU Adaptation Strategy was adopted in 2021, where EU should become climate resilient by 2050. It specifically defines local adaptation actions as key part and nature based solutions as the principal approach. MISSION CE CLIMATE is directly supporting these by enabling local communities for climate action and introducing NBS as key approach.
TerritorialAgenda2030 Territorial agenda 2030 defines several development goals, among them “A Green Europe – Healthy environment” where it says that “We will respect the natural limits of Europe’s common livelihoods and increase the resilience of all places impacted by climate change«. MISSION CE CLIMATE is supporting this goal through increasing resilience to climate change in communities of Central Europe with strong involvement of citizens as active contributors.
EUStrategyAlpineRegion EUSALP Action Group 8 is focused on risk governance, with a strong focus on climate adaptation. Two objectives are particularly in line with MISSION CE CLIMATE “Identification of good practice solutions in tackling challenges in natural hazard and climate change adaptation policy - promoting, developing and implementing local, regional and international pilot projects ..«. Our project is developing solutions (including pilots) adapted to the needs of communities. Some project partner countries/partners are located in EUSALP area (Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Germany) and will communicate and upscale project results in respective countries.
EUStrategyDanubeRegion EUSDR Priority Area 5 – Environmental risks is targeting the effects of climate change in Danube area, where many fields will be addressed also in MISSION CE CLIMATE: water scarcity and droughts, water and flood management, data management, vulnerability assessments. Some project partner countries/partners are located in EUSDR area (Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, Germany) and will communicate and upscale project results in respective countries.
Other 2020 EC Mission: A Climate Resilient Europe »Mission will: Prepare Europe
to deal with climate disruptions, and assist all citizens, communities and
regions in better understanding, preparing for and managing climate risks;
Accelerate the transformation to a climate-resilient future, supporting 200
European communities and regions in co-creating a vision, innovation
pathways, and developing solutions– MISSION CE CLIMATE is fully in line with
the approach and objectives of the mission.
