Activities Project action focuses on regional cooperation towards minimization of risk and exploitation of opportunities from a changing climate. The project has been designed with three core components apart from management and coordination, namely 'communication and dissemination', 'exchange of experiences' and 'policy formulation', all running in parallel to maximize synergies.

In this context, all activities within the three core components anticipate a close cooperation among participating regional authorities and institutions. The project partners will have the opportunity to work together in (among other activities) a series of seminars and workshops, the production of good practices and the elaboration of adaptation strategies; however, the use of e-tools, such as e-conferences on “Skype” and other web applications has been planned, to facilitate communication among partners and improve cost-effectiveness. In line with the intended project results and outputs, key activities within each component involve:
