Descrizione del progetto
Migliorare la valutazione del rischio climatico e l’adattamento
I rischi associati ai cambiamenti climatici potrebbero creare pericoli significativi e di vasta portata per i paesi, i settori, le famiglie e le imprese dell’UE. Questi rischi comprendono una serie di questioni, tra cui l’aumento delle disuguaglianze economiche, le crisi abitative, i rischi per la salute e altri ancora. Per mitigare questi danni, è essenziale che i responsabili politici dispongano di informazioni accurate e siano pronti ad adattarsi a circostanze mutevoli. Il progetto ACCREU, finanziato dall’UE, intende migliorare i modelli esistenti per la valutazione del rischio climatico, facilitando il processo decisionale informato per le future strategie di adattamento. Condurrà indagini per raccogliere dati rilevanti e valutare i potenziali impatti sulle sfide economiche. Inoltre, ACCREU raccoglierà informazioni sui metodi e sulle pratiche di adattamento dai portatori di interessi, concentrandosi sul loro impatto su’ servizi essenziali come l’assistenza sanitaria e i trasporti.
Obiettivo
ACCREU will contribute to the just transition towards climate resilience in the EU, its Member States, and regions, by co-creating and co-delivering with a wide array of stakeholders, new knowledge and actionable insights that connect the challenges of adaptation and mitigation with the multiple and new challenges our society is facing. At the scientific level, it will provide a comprehensive, integrated, co-created, socio-economic evaluation of future climate risk under different adaptation and mitigation scenarios, across European countries, sectors, households, and business types. Specific attention will be paid to non-market impacts on biodiversity, ecosystems, and health. ACCREU will advance models and methods for climate risk assessment, and integrated adaptation decision-making. Novel investigations will be developed to assess poverty, equity, financial, and fiscal implications of climate risk and the related policies. At the societal/economic level, ACCREU will engage stakeholders involved in different adaptation decision types to design practical solutions to successfully mainstream climate resilience and adaptation into decision-making processes. ACCREU’s case studies will examine adaptation decisions in the following thematic areas: risk assessment, ecosystems and nature-based solutions, land use and food systems, water management, protection and management of critical infrastructures including transport and supply chains, health, and human well-being, and justice. Stakeholders will represent decision makers at the local (e.g. city or municipal authorities, local resource managers), national/regional (e.g. regional and national authorities), and pan European level (e.g. EEA, EIB). Some case studies will be pan-European whereas some other case studies will be carried out in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom. To ensure effective uptake and long-term use of its results, the co-designed applied case studies will involve EU-level stakeholders, such as Directorate-Generals, the JRC, the EEA, the Mission Adaptation, as well as local practitioners, businesses, and authorities.
