OBJECTIVES OF THE “CLIM’ABILITY CARE” PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT OF A CROSS-BORDER CARE CULTURE
Develop an enhanced risk culture for companies and local authorities in their activities, in their relationships with stakeholders, but also with regard to the territory and critical infrastructure. This culture of care aims to promote cooperation and synergies between the territory’s stakeholders in order to facilitate the territory’s resilience to climate change.
PROMOTING A NEW CORPORATE CULTURE
Initiating and promoting a new corporate culture that focuses on an integrated approach to climate risks. Creating a network of companies that are resolutely committed in their areas.
DEVELOPING A CRISIS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH FOUR PILLARS
Develop an integrated approach to prevent climate, natural and environmental risks as well as risks related to economic activities. It will promote the joint prevention and management of disasters through a broader perspective on climate risks at territorial level, mobilizing the pillars of warning, mitigation, adaptation and care.
COMMITMENT IN THE UPPER RHINE PILOT AREAS
Select three pilot areas based on their socio-economic and environmental challenges and their potential vulnerability to climate change: identify the associated risks and vulnerabilities as well as their opportunities and potentials, taking into account constraints and prospects.
Provide the different actors with sockets for an effective and sustainable transformation of the territory.
The comparison of the different studies, experiments, findings, etc. between these different pilot sites will promote a cross-border risk culture.
The Clim’Ability Care pilot sites:
- The Murg Valley due to the risk of flooding,
- The port areas of Strasbourg because of their logistical weight and their high comparative potential,
- The Val d’Argent for its residential, ecological and tourist advantages.
IDENTIFICATION OF “CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES”
The project partners are working to identify critical infrastructures in the project’s pilot areas and assess their vulnerability to:
- Climate and other hazards
- multiple risks and cross-sectoral risks
- cascading effects, etc.
A mapping of critical infrastructures and a tutorial on how to create risk cascades will be produced.
UPDATE AND EXPANSION OF THE CLIM'ABILITY TOOLS
The Clim’Ability Toolbox has a range of materials that contribute to the creation of a warning culture and to increasing the empowerment of economic actors in the Upper Rhine region. The development of new tools takes into account the interest of crossing current and future climate constraints with administrative and regulatory constraints from a historical and cross-border perspective.
