Tatabánya, Hungary, addressing the impacts of urban heat waves and forest fires with alert measures

The City of Tatabánya has an approved comprehensive adaptation strategy, the Local Climate Change Action Plan, that is in its implementation stage.

This Plan is based upon a comprehensive approach taking into consideration both mitigation and adaptation, incorporating climate considerations into decision-making, and including adaptation concerns in municipal processes. At this time, three measures have been implemented: (1) a local heat alert system; (2) the Smart Sun Educational Programme; and (3) building capacity of the fire brigade.

 

 

 

 

Adaptation, restoration and creation of habitats for amphibians threatened by climate change in the Montes de Valsaín mountain range, Segovia

Amphibians suffer a global decline. This has made them the most threatened group of vertebrates on the planet, with more than a third of the species under some degree of threat. The main threats include the destruction of their habitat, changes in climate, emerging diseases and the disappearance of places of reproduction.

Project NBS URBAN: Map of the Potential of Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation at the Local Level: Methodological Guide for Their Identification and Mapping. Case Study Donostia-San Sebastián.

The NBS URBAN project seeks to integrate nature into urban planning, reinforcing the use of ecosystems and nature together with existing infrastructures in order to locally adapt to climate change in the Basque Country region, using for such purpose a map for their identification and deployment.

Sustainable forest management in Menorca in a context of climate change (LIFE BOSCOS-MENORCA)

The LIFE BOSCOS Menorca project, launched in January 2009 by the Menorca Island Council, has as its central objective the adaptation of Mediterranean forest ecosystems to the adverse impacts of climate change through sustainable forest management practices. This five-year project seeks to directly address the challenges imposed by climate change on Menorca, an island that, due to its geography and climate, faces unique environmental risks that require specific adaptive solutions.

MEDACC: innovative methodologies for adaptation to climate change in the Mediterranean area

The LIFE MEDACC project aims to develop innovative solutions for adapting our agroforestry and urban systems to the impacts of climate change in the Mediterranean area. A number of adaptation measures have been piloted in the areas of agriculture, forest management and water management. The results of the project contribute to quantifying how adaptation can reduce the vulnerability of natural systems and human activities to climate change, and what are the economic and environmental costs associated with the application or lack of these adaptation measures.

EGOKI: integrating adaptation to climate change in spatial and urban planning in municipalities in Navarre

The Navarre Network Association of Local Entities for Sustainability (NELS), with the supported of the Biodiversity Foundation and the Spanish Office for Climate Change, had carried out the EGOKI project (ADAPT project, in Basque). The purpose of thwas project was to incorporated climate change adaptation criteria into the urban planning processes of the local entities of the Autonomous Community of Navarre.
