The coordination teams of the integrated European projects LIFE-IP NAdapta-CC and LIFE-SIP PYRENEES 4 CLIMA met for the first time last Tuesday, September 5 of 2023, online.

The meeting was attended by Juan Terradez, from the Pyrenees Climate Change Observatory (OPCC), Joël Dozzi, from the Environmental Management of Navarra (GAN-NIK), and Itziar Almarcégui, Miguel Ángel González Moreno and Isaías Bautista, from the Government of Navarra.

Objective of the meeting

The objective of the meeting was to maintain a first contact between both projects, as well as to resolve some doubts on the part of the coordination team of the new project led by the OPCC based on the experience accumulated by the LIFE-IP NAdapta-CC staff.

The Pyrenean project

The PYRENEES4CLIMA Project is part of the European LIFE programme in the category of strategic integrated projects (SIP). It aims to support the monitoring, development and implementation of adaptation and mitigation strategies in the Pyrenees and has a budget of almost 20 million euros. It has 47 partners who will have 7,5 years to develop all the adaptation actions designed for the mountain territory and with a cross-border approach.

The Navarre project

LIFE-IP NAdapta-CC is the first integrated European project on climate change adaptation in the European Union. The objective is to increase resilience to climate change in the region of Navarra through intersectoriality and long-term sustainability, participation and networking, contributing to the implementation of all the actions included in the Roadmap to Combat Climate Change in Navarra (HCCN-KLINa).

The project, which started in 2017 and will run until 2025, has a budget of more than 15.5 million euros with actions in areas such as monitoring, local environment, water, forests, agriculture and livestock, health, and infrastructure and territorial planning, as well as cross-cutting and horizontal actions. The consortium is formed by four public companies, NASUVINSA, NILSA, INTIA and GAN-NIK; the Public University of Navarra; and two departments of the Government of Navarra, Health, through the ISPLN, and Rural Development and Environment, from where it is also led by the Circular Economy and Climate Change Service.
