The European Triple-C project will share best practices on prevention and management of risks associated with climate change

The partners will transfer the best practices identified, so that their results are taken into account by regional and European policies

The initiative includes NEIKER, ACMG (L’Association Climatologique de la Moyenne-Garonne et du Sud-Ouest), CDA24 (Chambre d’Agriculture de la Dordogne), WRT (Westcountry Rivers Trust), LIT (Limerick Institute of Technology ), UC (University of Coimbra), UTAD (University of Trás-os-Monte e Alto Douro) and CSIC (Higher Council for Scientific Research)

The INTERREG Atlantic Area Triple-C project will select and transfer the best practices identified in European projects in the field of prevention and management of risks arising from climate change so that their results are taken into account by regional and European policies. This capitalization work will also be useful for the orientations of the next generation of Transnational Cooperation Programs.

The initiative has the participation of NEIKER, ACMG (L’Association Climatologique de la Moyenne-Garonne et du Sud-Ouest), CDA24 (Chambre d’Agriculture de la Dordogne), WRT (Westcountry Rivers Trust), LIT (Limerick Institute of Technology), UC (University of Coimbra), UTAD (University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro) and CSIC (Spanish National Research Council).

Project partners will select, collect, organize and update the methodologies, results and tools obtained by the different projects in this field. They will also identify the results and good practices that deserve greater dissemination and exploitation. One of the objectives established is to capitalize on the projects through the exchange of good practices and experiences among the partners, the identification of barriers and possible solutions and the formulation of recommendations based on the information obtained. It is also intended to ensure maximum visibility of the products, methodologies, activities and results of projects at European level.

To do this, the Triple-C platform, which will be one of the main results of the project, will collect all the information on the capitalized projects. It will become a useful source of information related to successful initiatives to adapt to climate change. The Triple-C platform and the compendium of capitalized projects will share best practices across Europe on the management and prevention of risks associated with climate change. This platform will be developed, published and maintained for at least the duration of the project and five years after its completion to allow professionals and local, regional and national authorities to access information over time.

The Triple-C project will also include a diagnosis of the impact of capitalized projects, thus taking a step forward in the analysis, and including conclusions and recommendations. The activities carried out by the partners will create a network, for which they will also contact those projects selected for their best practices, to strengthen the capacities of climate change action plans and strategies.

Finally, the results will be transferred, and guidelines and recommendations for their implementation, and to support the approved projects, will be provided to the next programs and initiatives of the European Union.

The project will close with a conference in Brussels that will help to communicate that the integration of mitigation and adaptation to climate change and the management and prevention of related risks in the regional, national and sectoral policies of the European Union and in the funds of the European Union is an essential component for the success of global policies.
