Imagine using nature as a shield against floods and heatwaves instead of just building concrete walls. This work helps cities and farms use plants, forests, and wetlands to protect their assets from extreme weather. It's like upgrading a city's immune system using the natural environment to keep things running smoothly.
Businesses face increasing financial risks from climate hazards like floods and heatwaves but lack the specific, evidence-based tools to implement nature-based protections that are socially accepted and economically viable.
Advanced modelling for forest management and a series of co-innovation labs for testing urban and agricultural nature-based solutions.
If you are a commercial developer dealing with urban heat and flood risks in business parks — this project developed co-innovation labs that design and test nature-based solutions to protect assets and increase property value.
If you are a farm operator dealing with soil erosion and water scarcity — this project developed agricultural land-use planning and hedgerow strategies that improve land resilience and productivity.
If you are a forestry firm dealing with slope instability and hydrogeological risks — this project developed advanced modelling to evaluate how sustainable forest management reduces risks and protects biodiversity.
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the tools is not mentioned as the project is funded by an EU contribution of EUR 17,562,795.
Yes, the project aims to up-scale and deploy solutions at a large scale across 8 European regions using developed economic tools and business models.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, though the project focuses on providing evidence-based knowledge and tools to regional actors.
The project develops robust policy tools and regulations to help public administrations and businesses implement adaptation measures.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2028-06-30, with initial objectives already achieved in the first 18 months.
The consortium is highly diverse with 43 partners across 9 countries. While it is heavily weighted toward 'Other' entities (26), it maintains a 12% industry ratio with 5 industrial partners and 3 SMEs, indicating a strong link between academic research and practical market application.
