Adapting to Extreme Events with Nature-based Solutions

The aim of the GreenAdapt2Extremes project is to co-create green adaptation pathways with diverse stakeholder groups for safeguarding water security for all, strengthening resilience and nature conservation in European river catchments in light of increasing extreme flood and drought events. The project will co-create visions for resilient basin futures, assess the root causes, drivers, dynamics and interconnections of current and future multi-risks for ecosystems, economic sectors and people linked to floods and droughts and identify adaptation options and co-create ‘green adaptation pathways’ at the catchment scale with a particular focus on Nature-based Solutions. GreenAdapt2Extremes works closely with relevant stakeholders in three highly flood- and drought-prone river basins: the Dora Baltea basin (Italy), the Erft basin (Germany) and the Geul basin (Netherlands).
