Climate EREL at ECCA 2025: Showcasing Innovation in Climate Adaptation

Published by Dimitra Panou on June 20, 2025June 20, 2025

🌍 Climate EREL attended ECCA 2025 in Rimini (16–18 June), where we showcased significant strides in two major Horizon Europe initiatives:
🔹 Climate Adapt 4 EOSC
– Pioneering climate data interoperability and adaptation services on the European Open Science Cloud—bringing us closer to seamless, EOSC-powered climate resilience solutions.
🔹 ICARIA – Improving Climate Resilience of Critical Assets
We presented major insights from this Horizon Europe project, which:
– Develops advanced, asset-level models and high-res climate scenarios (e.g., GCM/CORDEX downscaling).
– Tests solutions across three European regions—including the South Aegean region in Greece—plus additional replication sites.
– Builds a toolkit featuring datasets, interactive maps, a DSS for scenario comparison, and portfolios of adaptation measures.

These contributions underscored how data-driven approaches and modelling frameworks can accelerate systemic, evidence-based adaptation—engaging asset managers, policy-makers, and communities alike.

🙏Many thanks to the #ECCA organisers and fellow delegates. Eager to deepen our impact through continued collaboration and knowledge exchange.
