Smart Spending for Safer Shores: How Vilanova is Using Data to Boost Climate Resilience
One challenge in climate adaptation is determining the optimal timing and approach for investments to maximise returns. As such, SCORE developed two key results, financial risk profiles and a Decision Support System (DSS) to help municipalities assess climate-related risks and make informed financial planning decisions. What are risk profiles? The risk profiles, built on…

The Massa CCLL served as a key pilot site for the implementation of SCORE’s Digital Twin and Early Warning Support (DT-EWS) System. The DT-EWS system was designed to help municipalities monitor real-time conditions, simulate extreme weather events, and assess potential flood impacts. The aim is to improve urban resilience by providing an integrated platform that…
Read MoreSligo on the Edge: How Coastal Data and Community Science Drive Climate Resilience
A major challenge in effective climate adaptation is the lack of sufficient data and understanding of diverse climatic and geographic conditions. Within SCORE, this challenge was addressed through the generation of high-resolution climate and sea level projections tailored to local coastal challenges. To generate these models, all the CCLLs worked with local stakeholders to improve…
Read MoreSmart Shores: How Oeiras is Using Citizen Science to Monitor Coastal Change
SCORE set out to improve data availability within the CCLLs to better monitor coastal changes, ultimately strengthening decision-making tools and increasing climate resilience. To achieve this, the CCLLs engaged their wider stakeholder networks through sensor selection workshops. These workshops helped identify the most appropriate coastal sensors based on each CCLL’s priorities, whether that meant using…
Read MoreReviving the Past to Protect the Future: How Piran CCLL is Using Nature and Heritage to Tackle Climate Change
The Science The CCLLs, using the guidance and methodologies of SCORE, worked with stakeholders to co-create a list of priority Ecosystem-Based Adaptations (EBAs) to enhance climate resilience in their communities. EBAs, sometimes referred to as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are types of green infrastructure (i.e., green parks, marram grass, etc.). These adaptation approaches focus on ecosystem…
