The AdriaClim dataset, on future sea level rise scenarios, are considered the starting point on which to carry on the survey on the available data this Euro-MED project has to consider. Furthermore, AdriaClim has identified some shortcomings, on available future sea level trends, and limits, in the approach adopted in impacts assessment, that this project is going to face. So this project will improve parts of the results achieved by AdriaClim and integrate them in the larger Mediterranean view.

(FR), T-MEDnet initiative and MPA-ADAPT (EN), T-MEDnet initiative and MPA-ADAPT (FR) | This Euro-MED project is going to generate a set of data and benchmarks that support the methodology for and effective use of sea level rise scenarios, in the risk assessment processes that stakeholders require, to define adaptation and resilience solutions to reduce the climate change impacts. To let those data available to the public, instead of creating a new data platform and web service, this project considers the already available T-MEDnet initiative (https://t-mednet.org/) data services the suitable hub into which add data and benchmarks realized as project deliverables. This solution avoids the proliferation of double services, reducing the potential confusion user encounters looking for information and data, clearly contributes to the T-MEDnet mission and allows this Euro-MED project to concentrate more resources on the key points it is aimed to.

The results of the ADAPT project are going to be complemented with those coming from this Euro-MED project. In fact, while in the ADAPT project the focus was on the meteorological extreme events that can affect the urban areas, the coastal ones too, this project will add the knowledge, a methodology and the supporting tools to enrich the local adaptation plans with respect the threatens coming from the progressive increase of the sea. Results of this Euro-MED project are going to be shared with and promoted to the ADAPT stakeholders too, thus stimulating the update of the local adaptation plans, that each urban area has defined in the frame of ADAPT. A successful integration of the results coming from both projects could be an example for the extension of the approach across the whole Mediterranean coastal cities and towns.

Contribution to wider strategies and policies:
- EuropeanGreenDeal In the frame of the European Green Deal, it is foreseen to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, that means to give a great contribution in mitigating the present trend of climate evolution. Anyway, meanwhile the effect of mitigation actions will become effective, it is essential to support the adaptation to stress the changing climate will continue to produce on anthropic activities and on biodiversity. In fact, the Green Deal underlines the need to strength our efforts on climate-proofing, resilience building, prevention and preparedness. So, climate adaptation will continue to influence public and private investments, then it will be important to ensure all actors composing the EU society, thus those the Mediterranean too, namely investors, insurers, businesses, cities and citizens are able to access data and to develop instruments to integrate climate change into their risk management practices. According to this specific points of the European Green Deal, it is clear that the methodology this project will develop to support the adaptation to sea level rise is going to contribute to the strategy.
- EUStrategyAdriaticIonianRegion According to the mission of European Union Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region, this project will contribute to the strategy thanks to the partnership that includes partners operating in that Mediterranean area. This is a clear manifestation of the consolidation of cooperation among the countries of the Adriatic and Ionian region foreseen in the strategy. Furthermore, the essential interaction among all the partners, to conduct the project activities, promotes the sharing of the experience acquired thanks the strategy implementation with the rest of the Mediterranean partners. Since this specific EU strategy promotes sustainable economic and social prosperity in the region, while at the same time preserving the environment and ensuring healthy, balanced marine and coastal ecosystems, the project results will support the strategy in defining and implementing and climate change adaptation, risk prevention and resilience, through ecosystem-based approaches. Finally, it is worth to remember that EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region is also expected to contribute to the EU integration of the potential candidate countries in the region This project, thanks to the Euro-MED inclusion of the IPA countries among the partners, has allowed to create a partnership in which a IPA country, overlooking the Adriatic Sea, is an effective and relevant partner, that is going to collaborate in the supporting one of the most important EU missions, working integrated with EU partners.
- MediterraneanSeaBasin This project tackles a challenge that is shared with the WestMED initiative, namely the consequences of the progressive sea level rise due the future trends of climate. In fact, the initiative clearly states that the Climate Change greatly affects the western Mediterranean, and the rise in sea level is a major threat to coastal ecosystems and economies. So the outputs of the project directly contribute into the strategy, both because of the complete overlapping of the project objectives with those foreseen in the WestMED initiative and because more than half of the project partners belong to countries that are part of the geographical area on which the strategy is operating. Since the mission of the strategy is pursued through coordination and cooperation among the countries in the area, this project practically increases the cooperation, that is also coordinated by way of the project work plan. Finally, if we look at the main results expected for the WestMED, it is easy to recognize that the project is going to match some of the actions promoted by the initiative, such as new approaches in facing the climate change hazards, besides producing examples generated also with the participation of stakeholder.
- TerritorialAgenda2030 The Territorial Agenda 2030 provides an action-oriented framework to foster territorial cohesion in Europe also promoting responses to the increasing pressure concerning sustainable development and climate change. This project foresees a methodology meant to increase the efficacy and improve the efficiency of the adaptation and the resilience to sea level rise, due to climate change in the Mediterranean area, so it is clearly inserted into the frame defined by the Agenda 2030. Furthermore, the application of the Territorial Agenda 2030 is strongly based on the significant benefits that are being achieved through the strategic use of existing resources. The resources let available by the Euro-MED program, through this project, are an example of that. In fact, the Agenda explicitly refers to synergies with the EU Recovery Plan and the EU macro-regional and sea basin strategies. Last but not least, among the six actions that have been launched to put in practice the Territorial Agenda 2030, there is the Climate change adaptation and resilience through landscape transition, which is focused on the rural areas, but shares with this project almost all the four thematic priorities for a landscape transition approach. It is worth to recall that rural areas, that are close or including the Mediterranean coats, are directly or indirectly affected by sea level rise. Keeping in mind all this aspects, this Euro-MED project gives a not negligible contribution to the Territorial Agenda 2030
