Mar 4, 2025

On February 5th 2025, the regional dissemination event of the ADAPTNOW project took place at the Council Chamber of the Municipality of Chivasso, in the province of Turin (IT), organized by iiSBE Italia R&D, precisely at the headquarters of the pilot case study.

Architect Andrea Moro, president of iiSBE Italia, has illustrated to the stakeholders involved, the methodological approach developed by iiSBE Italia R&D, in the context of the European project ADAPTNOW for the elaboration of the climate risk map of Chivasso, which highlights the urban areas with the greatest vulnerability. The innovative methodology adopted by the Municipality of Chivasso, already awarded as the best practice in the “Land Management” category in the “Italian Virtuous Municipalities 2024” prize, makes it possible to identify the urban areas at greatest climate risk, with respect to which it is possible to plan adaptation strategies to prevent/limit the risks related to climate change.

The dissemination event was attended by many regional bodies, including the Piedmont Region Environment, Energy and Territory Directorate, ARPA, the Metropolitan City of Turin, the Archaeological Superintendence and others. Neighboring municipalities have also been invited, in order to disseminate the good practice in the area.
