LIFE CITYAdaP3: Adaptation to Climate Change though CSR of local companies
On 24 October, LIFE CITYAdaP3 will host a conference as a side event of the European Week for Cities and Regions 2023 (#EURegionsWeek). The event will focus on presenting the project’s results on developing new financing mechanisms for climate change adaptation.
LIFE CITYADAP3, led by the Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia, collaborates with four municipalities in Spain and Italy (Molina de Segura, Lorquí, Alcantarilla and Reggio Emilia), the University of Murcia, and EuroVértice Consultants.
