ABOUT CLIMRES

Europe has seen a marked increase in extreme weather events, with the Mediterranean region particularly affected. Unseasonably warm winter temperatures are becoming more common, disrupting traditional weather patterns and ecosystems.

The CLIMRES project aims to promote “Leadership for Climate Resilient Buildings” by identifying building vulnerabilities and enhancing their resilience to disruptive events and changing conditions caused by climate change. CLIMRES solutions will be tested in three large-scale pilots in Spain, Greece, Italy, and Slovenia, evaluating their efficacy against heatwaves, extreme flooding, fires, and earthquakes. Additionally, there will be one multi-hazard replication multiplier pilot in France.

Lessons from these pilots will shape a replication roadmap and a capacity-building program to train future leaders in climate-resilient building. CLIMRES will offer insights and guidance for building owners, policymakers, and stakeholders in climate resilience and sustainable development.
