Climate resilience
& sustainable
water systems

Global change scenarios are expected to increasingly impact societal functioning and livelihood quality in coastal areas, flood-prone areas or areas facing drought and desertification. We need imagination to mitigate risk and increase resilience. Tackling this requires applying innovative solutions to water systems through regenerative developments, design-based system thinking actions, integrated water management, climate & urban resilience (droughts and floods) projects and restoration ecology. HAEDES fosters this holistic view, addressing challenges as opportunities for improvement, bridging territorial and societal needs through co-creation.
