LAND4CLIMATE

Innovative nature-based solutions for climate change risk areas.

The project is studying how Europe can systematically become more climate-resilient with the help of nature-based solutions. With an international consortium, led by TU Dortmund University, the project aims at activating private land for climate adaptation measures to reducing climate risks.

The project focuses on the development of innovative solutions in the field of impact and adaptation to change challenges. It deals with the topic of increasing weather resistance, especially in areas where the most frequent hydrometeorological phenomena occur, such as floods, droughts or extreme temperatures in cities.

Project objectives:

The main objective of LAND4CLIMATE is to co-design and validate NBS on private land through implementation and upscaling with innovative strategies of land policy for a transformative climate-resilient future in areas with multiple risks, especially coupled extreme hydro-meteorological events such as floods, droughts and urban heat.

LAND4CLIMATE will operationalize this objective in six frontrunner cases in Austria, Czechia, Germany, Italy, Romania and Slovakia by:
• Identifying cause and effect relations of climate risks and NBS to allocate NBS effectively and efficiently
• Developing governance and business models
to implement legitimate and just strategies of land policy for NBS on private land • Enabling successful replication and upscaling
