Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
Life eCOadapt50 is a European project on adaptation to climate change, led by the Àrea d’Acció Climàtica i Transició Energètica of the Diputació de Barcelona and involving 25 public and private stakeholders. The project aims to facilitate the co-creation of strategic actions to adapt local areas and economies to climate change and will be implemented in 19 different territories across Catalonia.
By involving the social and economic stakeholders of the different territories, as well as the local administrations, and with a budget of around 19 million euros, Life eCOadapt50 plans to carry out at least 76 actions between 2023 and 2030 in four economic activities that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change: agriculture/livestock, forestry, fishing and tourism. The initiative will be implemented in 19 different areas of Catalonia, covering around 60% of the region’s territory (around 19,400 km2) and involving more than 10% of the population (over 900,000 inhabitants).
The Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) coordinates the project’s Technical Advisory Board, responsible for reviewing and ensuring the quality of all climate change adaptation actions. In addition, the URV leads the organisation of the interterritorial meetings, designed to foster knowledge exchange between territories and economic sectors, strengthening collaboration and the replicability of good practices across Catalonia.
