Project start date: 2025-04-01
Project end date: 2028-03-31
Project status:
ongoingRelevant linked projects:
- CarpatClim - Climate of the Carpathian Region (JRC, 2010 - 2013)
- The project aimed to address challenges in climatological data management, particularly in smaller countries, by improving the basis of climate data in the Carpathian Region. This involved creating a high-resolution gridded database for the Larger Carpathian Region (LCR) to facilitate regional climatological studies and drought monitoring. The project consisted of three modules: Module 1 focused on enhancing the availability and accessibility of homogeneous and spatially representative climatological data through data rescue, quality control, and homogenization. Module 2 aimed to harmonize data across Carpathian countries and produce gridded climatologies per country. Module 3 involved developing a Climate Atlas to serve as a foundation for climate assessment, applied climatological studies, and drought monitoring in the LCR, aligning with the European Drought Observatory. The CarpatClim dataset covers approximately 500 000 km2 in Europe in daily resolution. It is a homogenized (via MASH method), harmonized and gridded (via MISH method) dataset, including several essential Climate Variables. (EN) | The methodologies applied by CarpatClim for the creation of a high-quality, high-resolution gridded database (e.g. the MASH and MISH methods) as well as the principles employed, such as respecting national data policies, maximizing data access, and utilizing common software for data quality control, provide valuable insights and best practices that will be leveraged by Danube ADAPT in its goal to develop a macro-regional climatological baseline database. Furthermore, the Climate Atlas and database developed by CarpatClim can serve as a useful resource for better understanding regional climate patterns, contributing to the identification of climate risks and the development of impact chains to support evidence-based policymaking, being the main objective of the Danube ADAPT project. (EN), DRIDANUBE - Drought Risk in the Danube Region (2017-2019, Interreg Danube)
- DRIDANUBE is shifting the perspective from crisis management to risk management. It aimed to establish a new drought monitoring tool DroughtWatch to serve for surveillance, early warning and emergency response. Early detection of drought impacts will help the national authorities to forecast and respond during drought development faster and with higher precision. In practice it also means that if farmers can see immediate effects of drought and have relevant forecasts, they can take appropriate measures to reduce the impacts (e.g. more efficient use of water for irrigation). Instead of the tool, only a Danube Drought Strategy Plan was created. The main goal of the strategy is to build the capacity of the Danube region to overcome common deficiencies in coping with drought, and thus help switch from reactive to proactive drought management approach. The key point of the strategy is to identify the common steps that were used to launch the proactive drought management. With this information, the involved stakeholders will have clear guidance in decision-making processes and can improve drought emergency responses. (EN) | DRIDANUBE's DroughtWatch tool unfortunately did not come into life. A Danube Drought strategy plan was created, which proposes a new framework for improved drought management in the Danube region.
- DRIDANUBE’s approach aligns with Danube-ADAPT's efforts to improve climate data availability in order to improve climate adaptation responses and evidence-based, data-led policy making and supports the objectives of Danube-ADAPT by promoting risk management via climate change projections over crisis response. The cross-border harmonised methodologies for drought impact and risk assessment, as well as the Danube Drought Strategy Plan will be capitalised within the project during the development of the common vulnerability assessment framework. (EN), Clim4Cast - Central European Alliance for Increasing Climate Change Resilience to Combined Consequences of Drought, Heatwave, and Fire (DHF) Weather through Regionally-Tuned Forecasting (2023-2026, Interreg central Europe)
- The Clim4Cast project establishes a new weather forecast tool, which will be integrated into existing national monitoring platforms of seven countries (CZ, AT, PL, DE, SI, HR, SK). Concrete action plans to set up regional response mechanisms are also developed.
- Clim4Cast aims to address the existing gap by introducing operational tools for monitoring, prediction, and raising awareness. Clim4Cast project partners will collaboratively develop and establish a multi-temporal DHF forecast. Beyond forecasting, the project will assess the impact of climate change on DHF event occurrences. The project's outcomes will contribute to a comprehensive strategy aimed at increasing climate change awareness, particularly for underreported extreme events. What sets Clim4Cast apart is the collaborative utilization of partner knowledge in extreme weather events, diverse communication strategies, and established networks of stakeholders. (EN) | By addressing the gap in legislative frameworks regarding heatwaves and fire weather, Clim4Cast complements Danube-ADAPT's efforts to increase resilience against climate change impacts.
- The collaborative development of multi-temporal forecasting tools in Clim4Cast could contribute valuable insights and resources to Danube-ADAPT's macro-regional climatological baseline database, facilitating more comprehensive climate change adaptation strategies. Two of the Clim4Cast project deliverables are a database with meteo/climate data, reported data on past droughts, heatwaves, and fire weather in the 7 involved countries in the last 20 years, categorised by location of occurrence, cross border effects, and societal responses and an improved database of DHF impacts associated with the occurrence and severity of DHF events, both of which could be capitalised within the Danube-ADAPT project when identifying climate risks and analyzing adaptation capabilities in the sample vulnerability assessments in pilots. The planned vulnerability assessment framework and policy integration orientations of the Danube-ADAPT can build on the results and tools of Clim4Cast, especially if the 3 main themes of Clim4Cast (Drought, Heatwave, Fire) will be selected as vulnerability topics in the Danube Adapt pilot projects. (EN), Ready4Heat - Development of municipal strategies and action plans to improve heat resilience in cities (2023-2026, Interreg Central Europe)
- Global warming comes with more frequent and intense heat waves. Cities in central Europe need to adapt but many still lack efficient strategies and action plans to protect their citizens from heat. The Ready4Heat project helps them to introduce tested short-, medium- and long-term measures with a focus on the most urgent issue: sudden heat waves. The project makes proven and tested measures such as heat warning systems accessible to all cities and helps them to adopt these quickly. (EN) | By addressing the urgent need for efficient strategies to protect citizens from heat waves, Ready4Heat complements Danube-ADAPT's efforts to increase resilience against climate change impacts. The project's emphasis on introducing tested measures, such as heat warning systems, could provide valuable resources and insights for cities in the Danube Region seeking to enhance their readiness for extreme heat events. Recommended measures of the Ready4Heat project could be reflected in the heatwave-related sample vulnerability assessments of Danube-ADAPT's pilots. (EN), X-RISK-CC - How to adapt to changing weather eXtremes and associated compound RISKs in the context of Climate Change (2022-2025, Interreg Alpine Space)
- The project helps risk managers and policy makers across the Alpine region to address the compound/cascading risks of CC-related extremes by developing local actions and transnational guidelines, which are based on newly generated and harmonized Alpine-wide data and knowledge on past and future extremes. The project outputs are co-developed by and disseminated through EUSALP AG8 and PLANALP of the Alpine Convention. X-RISK-CC explicitly responds to the need for common knowledge, actions and solutions for managing extremes under CC that is expressed in the EUSALP AG8 2023-24 work programme.
- (EN) | X-RISK-CC uses data harmonization of past and future data, similarly to Danube-ADAPT, but only in the Alpine region. Its key outputs, that could be capitalised within this project, will be a digital library of past and future extreme weather events in the Alpine region with a webGIS platform and a manual with recommendations for managers, decision-makers and relevant services to assess new risks related to extreme weather/hydrological events in the studied area. The Alpine region, however, covers only part of the Danube area, nevertheless the knowledge base it provides will be utilized during the identification of key climate risks and during the sample vulnerability assessments conducted in pilots, if there is an overlap with the Alpine region area. (EN), DAREFFORT - Danube River Basin Enhanced Flood Forecasting Cooperation (2018-2021, Interreg Danube)
- A dependable flood forecasting system that is based on reliable hydrologic data and the cooperation between the Danube Basin countries was the main objective of DAREFFORT project.
- While it is important to have a proper emergency plan in the countries most afflicted by the flood risk, it is still more important to have a sound forecasting system which can increase the preparation time and therefore save human lives and social estate.
- The project aimed to explore the current status of the national forecasting abilities from where the partners and the stakeholders could derive the common goals in order to develop the existing system in an inclusive way, therefore improve the forecasting system of the area.
- The DAREFFORT project was a horizontal initiative to implement a flood risk mitigation measure in a joint and sustainable way on catchment level.
- By delivering a comprehensive overview of national forecasting capabilities and developing common goals among partners and stakeholders, the project facilitated mutual understanding and collaboration towards a common vision. Additionally, the project focused on strengthening transnational water management and flood risk prevention, with policy recommendations aimed at establishing the Danube Hydrological Information System (DanubeHIS) to enhance data exchange and access across the region.
- (EN) | DAREFFORT has developed a flood forecasting system, which relies on hydrologic data in the Danube Basin, the knowledge and results of which Danube-ADAPT can and will build on. With the national forecasting abilities explored in DAREFFORT, the Danube_ADAPT project will gain insights in the flood risk mitigation and adaptation capabilities of the Danube region. The project's efforts to develop common goals among partners and stakeholders foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing, essential elements for achieving long-term resilience in the face of climate change impacts in the Danube Basin, which Project Partners involved in both DAREFFORT and Danube-ADAPT will channel into the project.
- (EN), DANUBE FLOODPLAIN - Reducing the flood risk through floodplain restoration along the Danube River and tributaries (2018-2020, Interreg Danube)
- The DANUBE FLOODPLAIN project seeks to address the challenges posed by catastrophic floods along the Danube River, focusing on improving water management and flood risk prevention while maximizing biodiversity conservation. The project improved knowledge, among the countries located within Danube River Basin, related to integrative water management through restoration of floodplains, combination of classical and green infrastructure, natural retention measures, involving all related stakeholders.
- By updating floodplain inventories, assessing floodplain projects’ efficiency in pilot areas, and developing tools for knowledge enhancement and cooperation among stakeholders, the project aims to advance integrative water management strategies, including floodplain restoration and green infrastructure. Targeting ministries, river basin authorities, practitioners, and stakeholders, the project aims to provide practical guidance for sustainable floodplain management in the Danube River Basin.
- The Project developed a manual on The Danube basin wide floodplain restoration and preservation addressed mainly to practitioners; a DRB Sustainable Floodplain management Strategic Guidance summarizing the key findings of the manual targeting a wider audience; and a DRB Roadmap comprising agreed next steps towards realizing floodplain projects.
- The innovative character of the project was the development of a general evaluation tool for possible later assessment of floodplain restoration projects. (EN) | DANUBE FLOODPLAIN aligns with Danube-ADAPT's objectives of promoting evidence-based policy-making.
- The project's emphasis on improving water management and flood risk prevention will help Danube-ADAPT to assess the adaptation capacities of the Danubre region in general. While the tools developed, specifically the Floodplain Restoration and Reservation Manual and the Sustainable Floodplain Management Strategic Guidance will be useful when assessing vulnerability in pilots. DANUBE FLOODPLAIN’s activities, such as updating floodplain inventories and developing tools for target groups contributes to building adaptation capacities across the region, crucial for achieving long-term resilience in the face of climate change impacts.
- (EN), AdriAdapt - an information platform for strengthening climate change resilience for the Adriatic coastal local communities (2019-2021, Interreg Italy-Croatia)
- The Adriadapt project aimed at supporting the building of local and regional resilience by developing the knowledge base required to identify and plan appropriate climate change adaptation options. The project produced high-resolution datasets and projections that provide detailed and reliable information on climate-related impacts in the regions; created a climate information system or knowledge platform for the Adriatic region containing best practices, guidance documents, legal frameworks and climate and vulnerability studies; and tested and integrated the knowledge platform in select Italian and Croatian pilot cities and extended urban areas where adaptation and resilience plans were designed.
- (EN) | The concept and structure of AdriAdapt is very similar to those of Danube-ADAPT: the knowledge platform created is based on high-resolution datasets and projections, and the platform was tested in pilot projects. However, the AdriAdapt project focused only on the coastal areas of Croatia and Italy, that are particularly exposed to the effects of climate change, while Danube-ADAPT extends its activities to the Danube region and in addition, it aims at creating a common vulnerability assessment framework. Still, AdriAdapt brings knowledge to capitalize and it will provide a blueprint for the Danube-ADAPT project.
- (EN), CREATE - Climate REsponses for the AdriaTic rEgion (2022-2023, Interreg Italy-Croatia)
- During the implementation of the projects financed under Axis 2 of the Interreg Italy-Croatia programme, important results have been developed for supporting actors in shaping responses to climate change impacts in the programme area, yet this knowledge is dispersed across different websites and platforms. The CREATE cluster jointly analysed and synthesized results achieved in all relevant projects and provided systematic access to this knowledge.
- The project results are showcased on an on-line platform, with practical tools, such as a good practice handbook, an inventory of knowledge products, webinar sessions, event reports, flagships papers, study site visits.
- (EN) | CREATE will serve as a capitalizable knowledge base for Danube-ADAPT regarding adaptation project results in Croatia. Specifically, Danube-ADAPT will utilize the collected good practices as policy enhancement advocacy tools during its awareness raising and capacity building activities, as well as on the Danube Region Adaptation Policy Support Platform (Danube-ADAPT Platform).
- (EN), LIFE LOCAL ADAPT - Integration of climate change adaptation into the work of local authorities (2016-2021, LIFE)
- Six partners from four European countries (Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and Latvia) have contributed their expertise to LIFE LOCAL ADAPT. During the EU project, they were able to support small and medium-sized municipalities in adapting to climate change.
- The project aimed to implement specific climate change adaptation measures in cooperation with municipalities, integrate climate change adaptation into the administrative practice of local authorities, enhance municipalities’ knowledge on climate change adaptation and improve the data and information base on climate change impacts.
- (EN) | Danube-ADAPT can leverage LIFE LOCAL ADAPT’s knowledge about municipalities’ adaptation capabilities and policy enhancement by tapping into the expertise and experience gained from implementing specific climate change adaptation measures in small and medium-sized municipalities. By collaborating with local authorities, Danube-ADAPT can integrate lessons learned and best practices into its efforts to support evidence-based policy-making on climate change adaptation within the Danube Region.
- (EN), CLIMAX PO – CLIMate Adaptation for the PO river basin district (2023-2032, LIFE)
- CLIMAX PO brings together most national and regional and some of the local authorities playing a role in implementing the Italian strategy on adaptation in the Po River Basin, an area of 74.000 km2, with 3.200 local authorities, 16 million inhabitant and generating 40% of the Italian GDP. It aims to boost adaptation to climate change through a climate-smart management of water resources and by implementing measures tailored to local characteristics and climatic peculiarities at the district scale.
- It specifically aims to improve the climate risk and adaptation governance in water resource management; improve the understanding of climate risks and creating a platform for harmonised climate knowledge and services; accelerate climate adaptation through education, training and awareness-raising for policymakers, technical experts, public administrations and civil society organisations; enhance water retention and storage capacity management, promoting nature-based solutions and connectivity of green and blue infrastructures, promoting water saving and soil conservation in farming practices; develop guidelines, common tools and methodologies for shared knowledge.
- (EN) | Danube ADAPT will exchange knowledge, share best practices, and learn from the experiences of adaptation initiatives in a comparable large river basin context, in particular in the areas of harmonised climate knowledge and services, capacity building and awareness raising for policy makers and experts. Additionally, insights gained from CLIMAX PO's efforts to address climate change impacts in a densely populated and economically significant area can inform and enhance Danube ADAPT's strategies for promoting resilience and sustainable management within the Danube Basin.
