Resilience Knowledge Boosters

Demo Site Resilience Knowledge Boosters provide a space to share the specific work developed within the Impetus project at regional level. That includes reports, guidelines, adaptation pathways and advanced visual tools to effectively share data results from the pilot solution implemented to a broad audience.

Mountains

Valle dei Laghi area, IT

Valle dei Laghi in the Italian Alps, known for its abundant water and small communities, relies on agriculture, tourism, and hydropower. However, it faces heightened climate change risks, with rising temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events.

Boreal

Zemgale Region, LV

Zemgale, covering 17% of Latvia, relies on groundwater for drinking and dense rivers for biodiversity and recreation. However, intensive agriculture, covering 40% of the region, has strained biodiversity, water quality, and management. As well the region is one of the most threatened areas in terms of flooding of the territory due to the flat terrain.

Arctic

Troms & Finmark, NO

Northern Norway faces mounting climate challenges, including rising coastal temperatures that disrupt marine ecosystems. Increased precipitation and unstable weather elevate the risk of floods, slush flows, and avalanches. These changes threaten infrastructure, ecosystems, and livelihoods, demanding urgent adaptation strategies to cope with a rapidly shifting Arctic climate.

Mediterranean

Region of Attica, GR

The Attica region in Greece faces significant water scarcity and drought challenges due to its geographical characteristics, overexploitation of water resources, and water management inefficiencies. As a typical Mediterranean area, it is increasingly affected by climate change and other global pressures.

Coastal

Coast of Catalonia, ES

The Catalan coast, a 600km stretch in northeastern Spain, is rich in biodiversity but faces intense pressure from tourism, urbanization, and industries, making it highly vulnerable to climate change impacts.

Continental

Berlin-Brandenburg, DE

The Berlin-Brandenburg region faces reduced river flows and drought due to low natural water flow and rising temperatures. With a reliance on groundwater and a partially closed water management cycle, the area is increasingly pressured by climate change impacts.

Atlantic

Province of Zeeland and Rijnmond, NL

The Province of Zeeland and the Rijnmond Region faces rising flood risks due to their low-lying location and extensive waterways. Its economic importance, with high energy consumption and critical infrastructure, requires adaptive strategies to build resilience against a changing climate.
