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.
Boreālais reģions
Zemgales reģions, LV
Zemgales reģions aizņem 17% no Latvijas teritorijas, dzeramā ūdens ieguvei izmanto pazemes ūdeņus, un reģionā esošie blīvie upju tīkli ir nozīmīgi bioloģiskajai daudzveidībai un atpūtai. Tomēr intensīvā lauksaimniecība, kas aizņem 40% reģiona teritorijas, ir radījusi būtisku slodzi uz bioloģisko daudzveidību, ūdens kvalitāti un apsaimniekošanu. Turklāt ņemot vērā līdzenu reljefu, šis reģions ir viens no visvairāk applūšanas riskiem pakļautajiem apgabaliem Latvijā.
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.
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.
In Troms and Finnmark, Norway, beyond the Arctic Circle, key industries like fisheries, tourism, and mining face rising risks from climate-change-induced landslides, avalanches, and fjord tsunamis, threatening communities in this sparsely populated region.
The Attica region in Greece faces water scarcity and drought due to its geography, overuse of water resources, in water management challenges. As a typical Mediterranean area, it is increasingly impacted by climate change and other global drivers.
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.
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.
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.
