In continuity with the previous project Proterina-3 Évolution, PROTERINA4Future continues the work aimed at strengthening preparedness and the capacity of the Italy-France cross-border area to respond to the impacts of climate change, and promoting an integrated approach to disaster risk reduction that combines mitigation, adaptation, response, and recovery measures with participatory decision-making processes. The project focuses particularly on droughts and flash floods.
Goals and expected results
The main objective of PROTERINA4Future is to stimulate and improve coordination between the territorial authorities responsible for climate risk prevention and management, contributing to defining strategies for risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The project includes joint pilot actions to foster the exchange of knowledge and scientific know-how and also develops innovative actions for technological strengthening in risk prevention and management from a multi-risk and multi-level perspective. The integrated approach proposed by the project, aimed at involving and raising awareness among stakeholders (including young people), combines mitigation, adaptation, response, and recovery measures with participatory decision-making processes, with the aim of developing shared solutions for sustainable territorial governance.
CIMA Research Foundation’s contribution
CIMA Research Foundation is the lead partner of the project. Besides supporting the partners, it is particularly engaged in activities related to climate risk governance, sharing its experience in participatory civil protection processes, and in supporting local authorities in developing adaptation plans and strategies for climate change. Furthermore, it participates in activities aimed at improving monitoring and forecasting to facilitate the development of joint and more effective models.
Finally, it also contributes to communication, awareness, and education activities, aimed at developing awareness and skills among economic stakeholders, citizens, technicians, administrators, and students through the development of courses on strengthening the culture of risk and civil protection, with specific reference to climate risks and adaptation actions.
