The measures available in this web platform are a compilation of the state of the art in Climate Change Adaptation. They provide information about all potential solutions to reduce the impacts, damage and vulnerability of any territory. The measures have been obtained from different EU-funded scientific research projects. They are classified to facilitate the selection, using the search engine and the filters available.
This is a live tool, and it welcomes new measures as the Climate Adaptation research and practice evolves. If you register, you can enter new measures, and use all of them to create a tailored strategy for the municipality, district or region of interest. Also they can be included in the prioritization tool to compare the impact of the measures, which supports Climate Action decision-making.
Rethink and adapt the criteria in project and works protocols and in the technical specifications for urban spaces, in order to equip them with a more mainstream vision and ensure the compliance of these sustainability and resilience criteria in urban transformation projects

Renovate housing improving insulation to heat and flood, replacing obsolete electrical installations, etc.
Protection from High winds/Hurricanes
Protection from High winds/Hurricanes
Contribution to the ecological value of a dike. The aim is to create a net positive contribution to natural value of the dike section.
Type of natech trigger addressed: All
Artificially created expanse of sand that covers the spatially concentrated placement of (relatively) large sand volumes for coastal development
Type of submerged aquatic vegetation that evolved over time to live in the marine environment.
Establish sediment conservation measures: beach regeneration, change the grain size of the sediment brought in, analyse other coast protection options
A seepage barrier is used to reduce the rate of seepage: for instance to reduce the loss of water from a reservoir or to reduce the water pressure on the structure.
The implementation of the self-healing algorithm will help to mitigate blackouts produced by localized affections to the grid (i.e. flooded substations) by creating new paths for redirecting the energy flow through the operative network by mean of the auto-reconnection of the electrical system creating a new configuration scheme and providing a reliable power supply to the most critical loads in the affected area.
Emergency supplies and utilities are necessary in case of a flood emergency. It should consist of food and drinks, first aid kit and other provisions to survive or continue operating for instance a hospital or business.
Detail geographic information that allows urban planners to take informed decisions, considering flood hazards in the city.
Set up a climate office that will adopt a mainstream approach to working on climate change in the administration and a committee to monitor the implementation of the Climate Plan actions consisting of the core team driving the plan and other key players
Design the municipal irrigation system for watering trees to be able to adapt to different needs of evapotranspiration and cooling services
