About CARDIMED
CARDIMED uses technology to make it easier for people to collect and share data about Nature-based Solutions and Climate Resilience.
Digital tools allow citizens to get involved and learn more. We want to bring together many different groups to share what they know and make a positive impact and understand how water, energy, food, and ecosystems are connected.
Our Objectives
Project Vision & Objectives
To instigate systemic transformations in Climate Resilience in the MED Region, by unifying and mainstreaming all initiatives addressing climate adaptation and mitigation through NBS and other engineered infrastructure.
01.
To deliver a comprehensive digital framework, capable of providing region-wide assessment of the impacts of Nature-based Solutions to climate resilience, while supporting stakeholder engagement through intuitive tools and interfaces.
02.
To deliver a holistic suite of modelling tools for assessing and providing decision support with regards to Climate Resilience, focusing on Nature-based Solutions applicability for mitigating climate risks.
03.
To introduce a strategy to scale-up community resilience, engaging stakeholders and co-creating with local communities knowledge impact and knowledge translation pathways.
04.
To showcase the validity and improve acceptance of Nature-based Solutions as go-to option towards regional climate resilience.
05.
To establish a Regional Alliance – a growing partnership of communities that will share knowledge and experience to drive further up-take of CARDIMED solution and ensuring the financial sustainability of the network.
Funding Program
CARDIMED is funded by the Horizon Europe programme under the Adaptation to Climate Change Mission.
In February 2021, the EC adopted an EU strategy on adaptation to climate change that sets out how the EU can adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change and become climate resilient by 2050.
Pushing further on the belief that we must adjust now to tomorrow’s climate, the EU launched a specific mission to foster the resilience of all, be it regions, cities, citizens or companies, to climate change. The Mission Adaptation to Climate Change, will enable Europe to prepare for unavoidable climate impacts and accelerate the transformation to a climate-resilient Europe. The implementation plan specifies the goal and objectives as well as implementation details of the mission “Adaptation to Climate Change”.
CARDIMED will contribute to the objectives of this mission by providing general support to European regions and communities, accelerating transformations to climate resilience by supporting them in the co-creation of innovation pathways and the testing of solutions and demonstrating systemic transformations to climate resilience.
