Strategic Analysis
Programme: Horizon Europe · Type of action: HORIZON Innovation Actions
Develop, demonstrate and evaluate systemic measures to reduce and manage heat stresses in public and private spaces and in the built environment also while avoiding maladaptation. This could include, but is not limited to, renovating/improving the design of buildings, redesigning the public spaces and/or implementing nature-based solutions (in line with the Nature Restoration Law).
Develop and demonstrate ready-to-go actions for emergency services, public transport and utilities (water and energy) in case of extreme heat events, as well as support disaster preparedness and prevention planning (e.g., civil protection agencies).
Explore and evaluate options for innovative funding schemes to implement the proposed heat resilience solutions for regions/local authorities, which are all operating in different contexts (e.g. jurisdiction, governance and local stakeholders).
Must take place in the territory of at least 3 different regional or local authorities , each established in a different Member States or Associated Country, with the involvement of these regional or local authorities (preferably participating in the consortium as a beneficiary or associated partner).
Should already identify at least 3 “replicating” regional or local authorities from 3 different Member States or Associated Countries , interested in reapplying the lessons learnt (totally, partially or with the required adjustments) in their territories. For the replication, the consortium could include one or more partners that would provide support for the technical exchanges and the knowledge uptake in the “replicating” regions or local authorities. Replicating regions are not expected to conduct a demonstration or carry out on the ground activities already in the course of the project. However, replicating regions should at least prepare the theoretical framework for replicating the successful solutions (through exchanges with the demonstration regions), and explore means to fund the implementation of those solutions.
Regional and local authorities are better prepared to withstand the impacts of extreme heat, therefore protecting their citizens (in particular, vulnerable groups), their health and well-being.
Regional and local authorities are taking a leading role and actively involved in the development and testing of innovative solutions to deal with extreme heat.
Regional and local authorities are actively exploring funding opportunities beyond Horizon Europe for the deployment of adaptation measures.
No SDG topics identified for this call.
Support at least 150 regions and local authorities to become climate-resilient by 2030.
Deliver at least 75 large-scale demonstrations of systemic transformations to climate resilience across European regional and local authorities.
