SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
SMARTRIVER, involving 5 river basins affected by climate change (Misa, Glafkos and Charadros, Drava, Vjosa, Bosna), is based on three high territorial challenges: - increasing the climate adaptation capacity of river communities§; - creating a smarter model of governance, by enhancing PPs¿ capabilities to transnationally tackle climate-change in river basins§; - promoting active participation of local communities in planning risk reduction strategies. Indeed, SMARTRIVER aims at mainstreaming risk reduction policies on river basins of Adriatic-Ionian areas, improving the adaptation capabilities of PPs, stakeholders and relevant actors, providing a common framework to face with environmental, economic and social vulnerability to climate change. The project, based on a participative approach carried on through the Local LABs and the transnational Adriatic Ionian SMARTRIVER network, run 34 months and promotes the development of 5 Flooding Risk Reduction Plans (FRRP) within the River Contracts¿ common framework, setting up shared methodologies, structured knowledge exchange and capacity building actions, promoting a transnational model of governance to reduce climate change impact in the Adriatic-Ionian Macro-region. Tailored Pilot actions based on flooding ris
