TEACHER-CE – Joint efforts to increase water management adaptation to climate changes in Central Europe

 

Climate change consequences are already visible in central Europe, and call for better risk management coordination. TEACHER-CE addresses this need by integrating and harmonizing results of previously funded INTERREG, Horizon2020, and Life projects into the TEACHER-CE Toolbox. This tool focuses on climate-proof management of water related issues such as floods, heavy rain and drought risk prevention, small water retention measures and protection of water resources through sustainable land-use management. The direct local and regional implementation helps municipalities and regions in adapting their processes to the changing climate conditions.

 

Main objectives:

  • Development and validation of a framework of tools (Toolbox) for integrated and cross-beneficial strategies and measures for climate change adaptation and prevention/reduction of related risks
  • Capacity building for climate change adaptation and risk prevention through intense interactive stakeholders´involvement on national, regional and local level and across sectors in Central Europe
  • Boosting integrated participatory water management by interaction with target groups when downstreaming innovative tools and strategies for climate change adaptation and prevention of related risks in Central Europe
