Regions4Climate: Strengthening the resilience of European regions to climate change
Regions4Climate (R4C) aims to tackle climate change through cross-sectoral resilience strategies, combining social and technological innovation to build resilient European communities.
Where: international
Where: international
Challenge
Climate change and the increase in extreme weather events are posing a risk to communities, territories, and infrastructure.
The adoption of effective resilience plans has become urgent, supported by accurate monitoring of climate-related data, and able to integrate a systemic and participatory approach to significantly support Europe’s transition towards greater climate resilience.
Approach
R4C will connect new knowledge and understanding of regional ecosystems with innovative technologies and processes to develop tools that support the fair planning and implementation of climate resilience.
R4C partners will develop innovative and inclusive solutions, addressing social inequalities and supporting economic, social, and environmental resilience.
The project will bridge the gap between science and policy through stakeholder engagement, predictive models, and evidence-based tools.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
The R4C architecture is built on Engineering’s Digital Enabler platform, which integrates heterogeneous data (satellite, IoT, local repositories, surveys) through a semantic middleware. The platform provides real-time monitoring, data storage, and user-friendly tools for data processing, vulnerability analysis, and the creation of dashboards to support regional roadmaps. At the end of the project, each region will receive a Climate Resilience Dashboard, vulnerability assessments, and tailored solutions to develop resilience plans through co-creation processes with citizens. Engineering delivers the R4C ICT platform and develops the environmental monitoring dashboard for the Tuscany pilot.
The project is funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, Grant Agreement No. 101093873.
