From heavy rainfall and flooding to water scarcity, groundwater salinization, and sea level rise, these interrelated phenomena have an impact on both coastal and continental regions. Their frequency and intensity are expected to increase further due to climate change.<\/strong><\/p><p>In response to this growing urgency, the European Commission has adopted its <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.ec.europa.eu\/eu-action\/adaptation-and-resilience-climate-change\/eu-adaptation-strategy_en\">Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (2021)<\/a>, which sets out the path to climate resilience by 2050.<\/p><p>In this context, the WaterAdapt project was launched by <strong>seven regional and local authorities<\/strong> from <strong>Denmark<\/strong>, <strong>France<\/strong>, <strong>Italy<\/strong>, the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong>, <strong>Slovakia<\/strong>, and <strong>Albania<\/strong>, supported by a Mediterranean international cooperation agency (AVITEM) and a European platform (CRPMR) representing more than 150 authorities from maritime regions.<\/p><h2>Rethinking local water management strategies<\/h2><p>As a result of climate change risks, many European regions could find themselves exposed to several water-related risks simultaneously. To address these complex challenges, it is necessary to move from a compartmentalized sectoral approach to a holistic approach to local water management, which integrates comprehensive planning of all public policies (urbanization, land use planning, GHG emissions, etc.) into a coordinated water resilience strategy.<\/p><p>All types of territories, regardless of their size or geography, face the same challenges:<\/p><ul><li>acquiring in-depth knowledge<\/li><li>assessing vulnerability<\/li><li>and providing smart solutions to strengthen overall resilience<\/li><\/ul><h2>Strengthening water resilience through interregional cooperation<\/h2><p>The WaterAdapt project aims to improve the implementation of climate change adaptation policies at the regional and local levels in the field of water-related risk adaptation in order to strengthen their overall resilience.<\/p><p>By promoting interregional learning, the project helps public authorities to:<\/p><ol><li>improve knowledge tools on water-related risks and draw inspiration from the good practices of other partners;<\/li><li>establish a better link between planning and operational action in territorial adaptation to water-related risks;<\/li><li>strengthen the capacities of partners and their regional and local actors.<\/li><\/ol><p>Through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation, WaterAdapt is helping to build a Europe that is more resilient to climate change.<\/p><h4>News &#8211; Official launch of the WaterAdapt project in Marseille<\/h4><p>On 19 September 2025, in Marseille, the<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/avitem.fr\/en\/official-launch-of-the-wateradapt-project-in-marseille\"> launch of the WaterAdapt project <\/a><\/strong> marks the birth of a new community of practice, uniting regions and local actors to strengthen the resilience of European territories.
