NEREUS organises the webinar “Space4Urban Adaptation and Floods: How space uses empower local and regional authorities for urban adaptation and flood resilience” as part of its online series on space-enabled solutions for climate adaptation.
📅 Thursday, 4 June 2026
🕥 10:30 – 12:00 CET
⏱ Duration: 90 minutes
Background
Urban areas are increasingly exposed to flooding due to extreme weather events, sea level rise, and changing rainfall patterns. Local and regional authorities are on the frontline of these challenges but often lack timely and actionable data.
This webinar explores how space-based solutions support urban adaptation and flood resilience in line with key EU frameworks, including the European Green Deal, the EU Adaptation Strategy, and the EU Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities.
