Project description
Tackling climate vulnerability
In the face of the escalating climate crisis, certain European regions find themselves caught in a perilous struggle. These regions bear the burden of high Climate Change (CC) risks, coupled with an alarmingly low adaptive capacity. With this in mind, the EU-funded ClimEmpower project aims to empower five south European regions, equipping them with the tools and strategies needed to enhance their climate resilience. Through user-driven climate applications, capacity building, and the transfer of best practices, the project will pave the way for a sustainable and secure future, even in the face of mounting climate challenges. It will breathe life into climate resilience by co-creating strategies tailored to the unique needs of the five regions.
Objective
"ClimEmpower will empower five south-European regions with high Climate Change (CC) risk and exceptionally low adaptive capacity to enhance their CC-resilience, establish the regional Communities of Practice (CoP) and co-create the resilient development strategies adapted to the regional needs and potentials. We will achieve this through combination of user-driven climate applications, capacity building and ""best practices"" transfer from other European projects and regions.
Throughout the project the ClimEmpower team will aid the regional administration in organizing the regional CoPs where representatives of ""quadruple helix"" stakeholders will discuss their Climate Adaptation needs and capabilities, assess potential pathways towards CC-resilient, societally just, and sustainable future and elect sustainable and CC-resilient regional development pathways that are best suited to their needs and capabilities. This activity will be supported by provision of the data driven Decision Support service(s) for strategic CC-adaptation planning, as well as through provision of easy to understand educational materials illustrating the CC risks and possible technological, natural and societal adaptation options and strategies, explaining the use of the project tools, as well as knowledge transfer on existing data, tools and best practices in climate adaptation from successful EU projects and regions with higher adaptive capacity.
ClimEmpower will develop new generic interface to C3S Climate Data Store, data driven CC-hazard and -risk assessment services, and semi-semi-quantitative (“screening”) services allowing the users to compare different adaptation strategies. These services will primarily rely on open data and open service infrastructure and on cross-linking of such data with data that can be sampled locally during the project - to complement the pan-European data, improve granularity or to validate the predictions."

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
