The measures available in this web platform are a compilation of the state of the art in Climate Change Adaptation. They provide information about all potential solutions to reduce the impacts, damage and vulnerability of any territory. The measures have been obtained from different EU-funded scientific research projects. They are classified to facilitate the selection, using the search engine and the filters available.
This is a live tool, and it welcomes new measures as the Climate Adaptation research and practice evolves. If you register, you can enter new measures, and use all of them to create a tailored strategy for the municipality, district or region of interest. Also they can be included in the prioritization tool to compare the impact of the measures, which supports Climate Action decision-making.
Offer technical advice on productive roofs and walls at the energy advice points, housing offices and other existing services
Locate and characterise the areas at risk (of extreme heat, flooding, power cuts, availability of water, etc.)

Groynes stabilise the location of the river and ensure that the river remains at the correct depth. Lowering groynes can increases the flow rate of the water in the river.
Set up regulations on maintenance of the hydraulic structures and drainage network infrastructures so that their maximum conveyance capacity will be unlimited.
Type of coastal or estuarine wetland, characterized by the presence of salt adapted trees and shrubs.
The structure of the distribution grid can be both radial or meshed. The operation of the distribution grid, though, is only radial. The implementation of a meshed grid facilitates the recovery from a hazardous event.
Minimizing the time the water remains in the supply system to reduce water quality degradation, while in the system especially after treatment
Impact addresed: Loss of supply and de-pressurisation of pipelines leads to greater incidence of pipe failure, and resulting contamination during re-pressurisation increases drinking water quality risk
Assess and continually monitor the quality of drinking water and groundwater to see if it is affected by climate impacts such as drought periods or heavy rain
Implement permanent monitoring program, including rain gauges and hydraulic and quality monitoring equipment on main drainage system infrastructures, with direct communication of data to centralised system
Protection from Lightning strikes
Utilise regenerated water from the River Llobregat for the industrial uses of the Zona Franca Consortium and for recharging the aquifer
Recovering its ecological components, thus reversing such damages and allowing the bank to be stabilised, as well as allowing the river to move more freely.
