Goal:

The goal of CLIMAX PO is to improve adaptation to climate change through intelligent water resources management at the basin district level, by implementing the measures of the 'National Strategy for Adaptation and Resilience to Environmental Change' (NAS), adapted according to the local characteristics and climatic peculiarities of the district. This will be done by improving district governance in water resources management; ensuring coherent political, financial and technical coordination; sharing climate knowledge production; enhancing skills, awareness and involvement of stakeholders; and improving water security and climate resilience through pilot actions.

 
 

Project actions will be developed on several fronts to make water resource management smart.

  • Actions functional to the whole project: a multi-level governance agreement will be launched to promote a coordinated planning approach at national, regional and local level, starting from the current river basin management plan.
    The collection of data and information concerning the district area, the involvement of stakeholders, training activities addressed to operators and technicians and communication and networking activities for the dissemination of results are of fundamental importance, also for the Metropolitan City of Bologna.
  • Technical actions: alongside the definition of the methodological and technical approach, models, tools and studies on water management, on Nature-Based Solutions, on infrastructures and on the management of territorial water resources will be developed.
