Programme INTERREG IVC
The Interregional Cooperation Programme INTERREG IVC, financed by the European Union’s Regional Development Fund, helps Regions of Europe work together to share experience and good practice in the areas of innovation, the knowledge economy, the environment and risk prevention. EUR 302 million is available for project funding but, more than that, a wealth of knowledge and potential solutions are also on hand for regional policy-makers.
Climate Changes
Climate change stands as a double challenge for humanity, calling now for both mitigation and adaptation actions. On the one hand, preventing climate change impacts requires immediate and concrete actions to be taken, so that global emissions are stabilised in the short term and reduced in the medium/long term, with a view to reach the EU’s objective of keeping global average temperature increase below 2oC compared to pre-industrial levels. On the other hand, climate change is already evident and its impacts are inevitable for the next century and beyond, irrespective of the effectiveness of any mitigation measures taken.
RegioClima project’s objective is to enhance cooperation among EU regions towards avoiding risk and reaping the benefits from a changing climate. More specifically, the project aims to assist societies in adapting to the new climate conditions both by minimising the risk of damage and exploiting the new opportunities arising from a changing climate.
