Project RESIST: A Potential Approach on Resilience to Climate Change - Innovation, Science, and Technology in Central Portugal Region
Short Introductive summary
RESIST is a five-year project that has emerged from the need to make regions more resilient to climate change. The project will adopt a new practical framework in which climate adaptation pathways will be tested in four EU regions with different socioeconomic profiles: Southwest Finland, Central Denmark, Catalonia, and Central Portugal. Each region will test adaptation solutions to five key climate challenges: floods, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, and soil erosion, and will bring together civil society, business, policymakers, and the research community to work towards its future resilience. Know-how and adaptation pathways will be transferred from the four demonstrator regions to eight twinned regions from France, Greece, Latvia, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, and Norway, through mutual-learning activities and immersive digital twins. RESIST will strengthen the resilience, accelerate the transformation, and increase adaptive capacity of 12 climate-vulnerable regions in Europe, implementing 4 Large-Scale Demonstrators (LSD) of resilient innovations for Climate Change Adaptation at air, water, and soil level, between 60 partners.
