In this second period two significant milestones for the project have been achieved, the local resilience baseline and local Impact Chains (milestone 3 in WP4) and the RescueME resilience meta-repository (milestone 4 in WP2). WP1 activities were completed by around 70%. The Actionable Resilient Historic Landscape Framework developed in the 1RP was used to guide the methodological process across all tasks. This framework conceptualizes Cultural Landscapes as a Socio-Ecological-Technical System (SETS), comprising five key capitals (natural, built, social, human, and financial) and four measuring objectives (sensitivity, coping capacity, adaptive capacity, and transformative capacity). This framework has been linked to resilience measures and indicators, as a basis for the characterization of the solutions included in the meta-repository and pathways definition. The heritage values and ecosystem services have been analysed for local resilience assessments and predictive impact assessment models are under development. A new deliverable, D1.7 was submitted, detailing data and methods for European coastal heritage landscapes typologies and climate change impacts following the recommendation of the 1RP.
WP2 activities were also completed by around 70%. The RescueME resilience meta-repository was finalized, collecting 1000 solutions, including those from the culture and creative industries sector and innovative financing strategies. Adaptive governance solutions were included, and governance maps were co-created with R-Labs. In WP3, technical specifications and data mapping were upgraded, updated, and integrated, providing a comprehensive reference for all partners. AI-based tools, including mapping models, the Social Media Data Analysis (SMDA) tool, and the Chatbot, were designed, implemented, and deployed.
Similarly to the first period, WP1, WP2 and WP3 have been continually supported, fed, shaped and fine-tuned by the work carried out in WP4, where the 5 R-Labs that were established across Europe have been coordinated to provide continuous inputs for co-creation, validation and replication of all the results. These R-Labs have been supported theoretically and methodologically by the co-creation and engagement framework for the community approach that was created in the first period. In the second reporting period, WP4 activities were completed to approximately 60%. The local resilience baseline assessment was finalized by evaluating questionnaires about indicators provided by the R-Labs.
