SubsidieMeestersDeveloping and demonstrating portfolio of nature based and smart solutions for improving urban climate resilience in Latvia and Estonia
The project aims to enhance climate resilience in Baltic urban areas through nature-based solutions, digital tools, and community engagement to mitigate pluvial flooding and improve urban planning.
Projectdetails
Introduction
There is urgency of improving the climate resilience within territories of Baltic local governments, to solve practical urban climate-coping challenges as well as transform the regions to be more resilient in extreme weather events in future.
Overall Objective
The overall objective of the Project is to increase resilience of Estonian and Latvian urban areas to extreme weather events, by focusing on 4 specific objectives:
- Nature-based solutions
- Digital change
- Quality of planning
- Engaged communities and skilled enablers
Specific Measures
More specifically, the project will develop and test a set of measures that will help to prevent and respond in case of pluvial flooding, i.e., flooding generated locally by an overload of the urban drainage system by extreme rainfall.
Development of Tools
The new high-potential plant communities will be composed, a pluvial flood simulation model and integrated decision support system for mitigation measures will be developed, and nature-based solutions (NBS) will be designed.
Testing and Implementation
These tools and solutions will be tested in 8 urban demonstration sites of Latvian and Estonian local governments. Green infrastructure (GI) and NBS will be operationalised in local urban municipal planning by:
- Co-creation of policy and management options
- Adoption of NBS maintenance rules
- Urban greening plans
Capacity Building
In addition, the capacity of local governments (planners, project managers, and politicians) will be strengthened on developing and managing NBS and urban planning of GI.
Awareness Raising
Also, awareness will be raised on adaptation to climate change effects and thriving co-creation of NBS with the local communities.
Project Implementation
The project will be implemented by 16 Latvian and Estonian partners in close cross-border co-operation, and the results will be transferred to other local governments in the Baltic region as well as to other EU Member States.
