The 3rd Climate Change Adaptation: Strategies, Actions and Challenges workshop was held in Liverpool on 20-21 June 2016. The workshop, involving participants representing Barcelona, Berlin, Grand Lyon, and Liverpool, brought together the Climate Metropole+ Initiative and the No Regrets Charter process.
Climate Metropole+ is an initiative of Barcelona Metropolitan Area (BMA) and Metropolis in co-operation with its partners Berlin, Liverpool City Region and Grand Lyon. The aim of the initiative is to exchange experiences and generate knowledge regarding climate change adaptation. The project started in June 2015 and will finish by December 2016. It involves four workshops in each of the partner cities: Berlin, Grand Lyon, Liverpool and Barcelona.
The participants of the workshop discussed the main challenges and actions of the Liverpool City Region to adapt to climate change, and combined presentations and tours to show how climate adaptations measures have been implemented – see presentations below.
The No Regrets Charter was presented and updates on developments in each city (Barcelona , Berlin , Liverpool and Grand Lyon) against the Charter. The next steps of the project, the Barcelona workshop and future opportunities for collaboration, were also discussed.
