Wrap-up and closing
Takeaways
- Integrating climate adaptation into spatial and territorial planning can create more resilient and robust regional responses.
- Proactive planning in climate proofing is important to ensure that infrastructure and services have the capacity and ability to handle climate challenges in the long term.
- Mitigation and Adaptation are both crucial aspects of sustainable development that should be seriously pursued.
- Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of adaptation measures through tools such as the REGILIENCE self-assessment check list is crucial to avoid maladaptation.
