VALORADA capacity building programme

Climate KIC

We aim to improve access to and usability of data, demonstrate systemic transformations and accelerate societal transformation.

The VALORADA CBP provides government authorities, businesses, researchers and interested individuals with training activities and collaborative projects to strengthen understanding of Earth observation data and find ways to use them for climate adaptation. Through this programme, we work with individuals and institutions at every level - from first-time users to technical experts of Earth observation data. The CBP is composed of a series of interactive workshops connected to unique demonstrators, including the municiplities of Gabrovo and Burgas (Bulgaria), the statutory city of Prerov and Mlada Boleslav (Czechia), the region of Occitania (France), the region of Central Greece (Greece) and the region of Molise (Italy).While the programme has been designed based on direct feedback from the demonstrators, these cities and regions face common climate risks, such as droughts, floods, urban heat island effects and coastal erosion. By integrating common climate risks into the various thematic series, the programme will not only enhance the capacity of the VALORADA demonstrators but also share best practices with local and regional authorities and stakeholders beyond the VALORADA project. Through targeted sessions, participants will gain the tools and knowledge forming the foundation to develop effective strategies that mitigate common climate risks and ensure the long-term adaptability of their communities. 1.1 Data for climate risk reduction and adaptation (5 November, 10:00 CET)This interactive webinar is organised on the occasion of the 12th World Urban Forum (<a href="https://wuf.unhabitat.org/wuf12" title="https://wuf.unhabitat.org/wuf12" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">UN-Habitat, 2024</a>). This year’s theme is on local actions for sustainable cities and communities, addressing how valuable data drive localised adaptation and ensure regions and cities thrive in a future with unprecedented climate challenges and risks. It aims to bring together experts from academia, business association and local government to discuss how high value datasets can enable regions and cities to adapt to climate change. In this workshop, participants will gain insights into the climate data valorisation framework and engage in practical sessions led by experts from Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, EARSC, Politecnico di Milano and the City of Milan . It will feature a dynamic dialogue on integrating climate information and earth observation, along with success stories from the <a href="https://harmonia-project.eu/" title="https://harmonia-project.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Harmonia project</a> and testimonials from cities showcasing effective climate resilience strategies. Finally, a Q&amp;A session will allow for all questions to be addressed. 1.2: Climate Data Services and Tools: Copernicus Climate Change Service Support to Regions and Cities (19 November, 13:00 CET)This workshop will empower regional and local authorities with knowledge on integrating <a href="https://climate.copernicus.eu/" title="https://climate.copernicus.eu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Copernicus Climate Change Services (C3S)</a> into adaptation strategies. Thanks to practical sessions with experts from the European Center to Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and Aerospace Valley, participants will discover how to leverage new data and technologies for monitoring climate change effectively. The program will also explore local programmes aimed at integrating the C3S into adaptation policies and strategies. Additionally, the event will highlight best practices for regional and local cooperation and knowledge exchange in data-driven climate action.
