Members of the UMU CSR Chair are already working on involving municipalities in the replication of Life City AdaP3
One of the most important aspects of Life CityAdap3 is the creation of public-private mechanisms to finance urban adaptation measures through the participation of local industries and companies from 4 municipalities (Spain and Italy), validating collaboration schemes that can be transferred and replicated at a European level. For this part of the project, the CSR Chair of the University of Murcia plays a fundamental role in achieving the objectives through corporate social responsibility.
Currently, there are around 20 companies that are part of this project, co-financing the pilot actions in the municipalities, with a record amount of capital contributed, amounting to approximately 230.000 euros.
-Project replication-
As explained by the member of the project belonging to the UMU, María Dolore Abellán, once the works of the pilot actions in the municipalities have finished, the project enters the replication phase and the search for the involvement of other municipalities in the region and in Spain, as well as the implementation of other actions for the mitigation and adaptation to climate change that expand the objectives of the project itself. For this, among several strategic actions, a competition of ideas will be carried out between the interested municipalities of the entire region, in addition to continuing with the communication actions for the dissemination of the process and results of Life City AdaP3.
On the other hand, Life City AdaP3 will be presented at congresses and specialized events in which its partners will present their experience and the most significant aspects. One of the most outstanding professional events in which this initiative will be present will be at CONAMA 2022, the National Congress of the Environment, the largest environmental meeting in Spain and Latin America.
