Adaptation Actions

LIFE ASTI contributes significantly to the generic goal of the EU Adaptation Strategy. It develops policies to improve the adaptation to the impact of the Urban Thermal Island effect, especially during the summer heatwaves. Thus, it reduces the risk in Metropolitan Areas by introducing prevention services and more effectively applying the EU guidelines about energy efficiency. For the representative geographil coverage of the problem, the evaluation of various environmental conditions, and the support of one of the most important EU priorities about the common effort and international cooperation, 2 Mediterranean cities were chosen.
