The business problem
What needed solving

The solution
What was built
A Regional Resilience Journey (RRJ) guide and a Resilience Maturity Curve self-assessment tool for evaluating climate readiness.

The project is designed for wide scale, targeting at least 100 regions and communities across Europe to implement these resilience pathways.
What are the IP and licensing terms?
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, though the project focuses on co-designing open innovation agendas.
How does this integrate with existing regulations?
The project aligns with the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change and the European Green Deal to ensure political commitment and regulatory fit.
What is the timeline for implementation?
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2027-12-31, with a goal for regions to become climate resilient by 2030.
Consortium
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward non-academic entities, with 15 partners including 6 'Other' organizations and 5 research bodies. While the industry ratio is low at 13% (2 companies), the presence of 3 SMEs and the coordination by Climate-KIC suggests a focus on ecosystem orchestration and funding distribution rather than a single product manufacture.
