Climate-Resilient Development Pathways in Metropolitan Regions of Europe

Project description

Decision-support services for climate resilient metropolises

The escalating impact of human-induced climate change is resulting in increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events, posing significant challenges for local adaptation. The EU-funded CARMINE project will bolster the resilience of European metropolitan communities to climate change by offering decision support services and implementing multi-level climate governance. The project will prioritise local adaptation strategies, including traditional methods and nature-based solutions. CARMINE will develop tools, strategies, and plans aimed at enhancing adaptation and mitigation efforts in accordance with the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change by 2030. To showcase its methodology, the project will digitally replicate the climate and socio-economic characteristics of eight selected case study areas.

Objective

The frequency and intensity of climate and weather extremes associated with anthropogenic climate change are increasing and will challenge us in terms of adaptation strategies at the local level. The project “Climate Resilient Development Pathways in Metropolitan Regions of Europe (CARMINE)” bridges the local and regional scales by providing impact-based decision support services and multi-level climate governance supporting local adaptation, including both traditional and Nature-Based Solutions. CARMINE’s overarching goal is to help the metropolitan communities of Europe become more climate resilient, by co-producing knowledge-based tools, strategies, and plans for enhanced adaptation and mitigation actions in line with the Charter of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change by 2030.
To achieve this goal, focusing on the 2030-2035 timeframe and with longer perspectives up to 2050, CARMINE proposes an interdisciplinary approach aiming at (1) co-creation and co-development of decision-support services and guidelines for enhanced resilience and adaptive capacity, including early warning and disaster risk management systems; (2) cooperating closely with local to regional communities (stakeholders and users), decision-, and policy-makers (local authorities) to co-develop cross-sectoral frameworks for adaptation and mitigation actions; (3) delivering science-based R&I roadmaps for multi-level climate governance supporting local adaptation assessments and plans. The CARMINE methodology will be implemented in eight selected Case Study Areas to demonstrate proof of concept and project methodology will be demonstrated through the digital replication of climate and socio-economic characteristics of each area. The co-created knowledge and transferable development pathways from CARMINE will be shared widely via project networks in order to drive adaptation in other metropolitan regions of Europe, and beyond.
