Project description
Supporting equitable climate adaptation locally
Local and regional authorities are challenged to implement effective climate adaptation projects, while juggling a variety of other economic and social goals for their communities. The EU-funded JustREACH project will support these authorities and the communities to consider how to structure and balance these various aims, while working with limited resources. The project will focus on pilot regions to develop integrated climate adaptation and regional innovation plans, taking into account their impact on equity, ecosystem health and social justice. The project will also develop decision-making tools and scale up these outputs by utilising existing knowledge-sharing platforms to identify opportunities for local adaptation that align with regional socio-economic goals across the EU.
Objective
Just Climate Resilience through Enhanced Adaptation and Capacity Harnessing (JustREACH) will advance just climate resilience by enhancing the capability of local and regional authorities, industries, and citizens to implement climate adaptation and smart specialization plans. By building on and connecting existing knowledge sharing platforms for local and regional authorities, the project aims to highlight overlapping opportunities in implementing local adaptation measures and meeting regional socio-economic policy objectives between climate adaptation and regional development. The project also empowers authorities to assess the impacts of adaptation and regional transformation measures with a focus on citizen well-being and awareness of maladaptation risks. JustREACH not only provides new tools but also equips authorities with the means to use them effectively within existing decision-making processes by working with pilot partners who themselves are decision-makers in their own regions. The training that will be developed as a result of JustREACH outputs and experiences will aim to strengthen the capacities of all local and regional authorities to identify and overcome barriers, and to co-design with and mobilize community leaders, businesses, and citizens to adopt and scale up context-specific initiatives. Most importantly, JustREACH helps authorities and citizens alike to overcome implementation goals while also linking these actions to their consequences for equity, ecosystem health, the just transition and social justice.
