PROJECT SUMMARY
SMARTRIVER, involving 6 river basins affected by climate change (Misa, Glafkos and Charadros, Neretva, Drava, Vjosa, Bosna), is based on three high territorial challenges:
- increasing the climate adaptation capacity of river communities;
- creating a smarter model of governance, by enhancing PPs’ capabilities to transnationally tackle climate-change in river basins;
- promoting active participation of local communities in planning risk reduction strategies
SMARTRIVER aims at mainstreaming risk reduction policies on river basins of Adriatic-Ionian areas, improving the adaptation capabilities of PPs, stakeholders and relevant actors, providing a common framework to face with environmental, economic and social vulnerability to climate change.
Contracts’ common framework, setting up shared methodologies, structured knowledge exchange and capacity building actions, promoting a transnational model of governance to reduce climate change impact in the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-region. Tailored Pilot actions based on flooding risk assessment are carried on in order to taste the effectiveness of FRRP (Flooding Risk Reduction Plans).
