The RESIST project in GAIA Vesterålen is about climate adaptation based on different regions in Europe.
The project received the largest EU allocation to a Norwegian-led climate project with a total funding of NOK 273 million through the HORIZON Europe programme.
RESIST is part of a broader strategy at European level: EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change. The mission focuses on supporting at least 150 European regions, cities and local authorities by 2030 in their efforts to build resilience to the impacts of climate change. RESIST will so far engage twelve European regions with different socio-economic profiles that will test adaptation solutions to five key climate challenges: floods, droughts, heat waves, forest fires and soil erosion.
