As climate change continues to affect regions across Europe, many local authorities, especially small municipalities, face serious obstacles in turning plans into progress. Limited resources, fragmented approaches, and a lack of practical tools too often hold back real implementation.
The webinar highlighted how DISTENDER, KNOWING, and NEVERMORE are tackling these challenges through:
-
Integrated strategies combining mitigation and adaptation
-
Digital tools that support decision-making and public engagement
-
A shared focus on raising awareness and making climate action more inclusive and data-driven
Each project presented its approach, tools, and insights—offering participants a comprehensive view of how EU-funded innovation can support local climate transformation.
DISTENDER at the Centre of Local Action
At DISTENDER, we showcased our Decision Support System (DSS) a platform built to help smaller regions design tailored climate strategies, even with limited resources. Our tool features:
-
A dynamic repository of over 1.7 million entries
-
Expert-informed decision matrices
-
A visual browser of future climate indicators
-
A ranking system to compare strategies based on custom priorities
It’s a user-friendly, evidence-based system designed to make climate planning easier and more effective for local actors.
