Climate Transition

Climate transition and adaptation strategies

Climate transition is a cross-cutting challenge that requires robust analytical tools, the ability to integrate sectoral policies and a long-term vision. In this context, TerrAria supports Public Administrations in developing Climate Transition Strategies, based on scientific analyses and an in-depth reading of territorial specificities, assisting public bodies in defining pathways consistent with national and European decarbonisation objectives.

With regard to mitigation policies, TerrAria performs climate analyses and emissions assessments, identifying strategies and measures aimed at reducing climate-altering gases across different sectors of intervention. Integration between climate policies and environmental and energy planning makes it possible to build coordinated strategic frameworks capable of generating synergies across mobility, energy, buildings, land use and infrastructure management. In this way, Climate Transition Strategies become operational tools that can steer public choices towards more sustainable development models consistent with climate transition objectives.

Alongside mitigation, a central role is devoted to climate change adaptation, an area that requires specific assessments of risks, the vulnerability of territorial systems and the response capacity of local communities. TerrAria supports Administrations in building dedicated knowledge frameworks, analysing expected impacts and defining climate change adaptation strategies at local and regional level, identifying concrete measures to strengthen urban resilience, reduce exposure to climate risks and improve the management of extreme events.

In this context, technical assistance activities carried out within programmes promoted by Fondazione Cariplo are also relevant, aimed at supporting local authorities in developing and implementing energy and climate policies. TerrAria assists beneficiary Administrations in translating strategic guidelines into concrete actions, supporting technical analysis, the definition of measures and the coordination of different planning instruments, with particular attention to consistency between climate and decarbonisation objectives, economic sustainability and administrative capacity.

Climate change adaptation is now an integral part of sectoral and territorial planning. For this reason, TerrAria promotes an integrated approach that makes it possible to embed Climate Transition Strategies within existing planning instruments, making them consistent, operational and monitorable over time, supporting a climate transition pathway.
