About the CLIMAAX project
CLIMAte risk and vulnerability Assessment framework and toolboX (CLIMAAX) is an EU-funded project (2023-2026) fueling regional resilience. It is committed to furnishing practical assistance, aiding in the implementation of methodological frameworks, and facilitating the utilisation of the supporting Toolbox for conducting comprehensive multi-risk climate assessments.
The consortium consists of a combination of climate risk assessment and emergency response experts, regional authorities responsible for risk management, regional and national Civil Protection Agencies, and small and medium-sized enterprises.
CLIMAAX will help local and regional authorities and communities gain a deeper understanding of the climate risks they are exposed to, and empower them to take action, assist communities in evaluating their past experience and progress in assessing climate change risks.
