Description
This European Commission grant under Horizon Europe aims to advance methodologies, tools, and technologies to enhance climate security and civil preparedness across Europe. The focus is on strengthening risk assessment, crisis management, and adaptation strategies by developing and validating advanced, data-driven solutions for climate and environmental risk forecasting, disaster response, and adaptation. Projects should integrate diverse data sources (including European space programs like Copernicus and Galileo), support transnational collaboration, and align with international frameworks such as the Sendai Disaster Risk Reduction Framework. Special attention is given to vulnerable populations and the use of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) data practices.
