The Interreg North Sea region project FRAMES, Flood Resilience by Multi-LayerEd Safety, addressed the shared territorial challenge of climate change impacts, specifically the physical, economic and social effects of floods. To deal with future climate uncertainties, alternative options need to be considered …

This report provides an overview of the initiatives that were taken to disseminate information, lessons and knowledge acquired during Polder2C’s via formal educational programmes and an evaluation of the extent that project findings have been embedded in educational curricula of relevant partner organisations …

Diversification of flood risk management strategies (FRMS) in response to climate change relies on the adaptive capacities of institutions. Although adaptive capacities enable flexibility and adjustment, more empirical research is needed to better grasp the role of adaptive capacities to accommodate …

As a consequence of climate change and urbanization, many cities will have to deal with more flooding and extreme heat stress. This paper presents a framework to maximize the effectiveness of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for flood risk reduction and thermal comfort enhancement. The framework involves …

The subjects of the River Scan Challenge are Mahiga and Guadalupe rivers. These rivers are very polluted because they receive all kinds of wastes; untreated wastewaters and solid wastes, from the urbanized environment. These rivers are crucial to the flood occurrences in the highly urbanized city of …
