Case Study Areas
The CARMINE project establishes 8 Case Study Areas and Living Labs to implement a framework based on System Innovation Approach for stakeholder activities and exchange to jointly test, develop and create climate-resilient solutions.
The Case Study Areas are selected in eight countries, focusing on diverse socio-economic profiles, types of communities, vulnerabilities, climate impacts drivers and geographical distribution across Europe:
Specific climate change challenges and potential outputs related to climate adaptation and resilience are estimated for each Case Study Area. All Case Study Areas are regions with GDP/capita 20,000-40,000 USD (average 2013-2018), ranked 21-51 on the Climate Risk Index (1999-2018) concerning reported damages and fatalities from climate-related events, with >40% (>50%) population very or extremely worried about climate change and with relatively high vulnerability of population to disasters and humanitarian crises. In each Case Study Area/Living Lab, deficiencies and constraints in Adaptation and Mitigation planning (i.e. such as the lack of climate and socio-economic data, resources, knowledge, finance, and/or political will and private sector support) are evaluated to address adaptation concerns and identify sensitive sectors, critical assets, and vulnerable groups.
