🌍 Thrilled to Announce Our Latest Research Milestone! 🌱

We are delighted to share that our research, "User-Driven Climate Resilience Across Southern European Regions," has been published in Climate MDPI (Volume 13, Issue 1).

This groundbreaking study, conducted as part of the ClimEmpower Project (https://climempower.eu/), showcases a user-centric framework to enhance climate resilience across five Southern European regions: Costa del Sol, Central Greece, Troodos Mountains, Osijek-Baranja County, and Sicily.

The ISTOS Center of Excellence is proud to contribute to this ambitious Horizon Europe project by:

✔️ Facilitating stakeholder collaboration through innovative Communities of Practice (CoPs) that bring together academia, industry, public authorities, and civil society.

✔️ Identifying critical gaps in data, policy, and collaboration to enhance adaptive capacity and foster effective climate solutions.

✔️ Designing scalable, actionable strategies aligned with the European Green Deal, empowering local communities to address their unique vulnerabilities.
