MULTICLIMACT

Background

MULTICLIMACT is committed to safeguarding Europe’s built environment from the escalating risks posed by natural and climatic hazards. Recognizing the increasing frequency and severity of floods, earthquakes, extreme weather events, and heatwaves, the project emphasizes the urgent need for adaptive, forward-looking measures that strengthen resilience at both local and regional levels.

To achieve this, MULTICLIMACT deploys innovative strategies tested across four pilot sites, each representing diverse climatic conditions and socio-economic contexts. These pilots serve as living laboratories where adaptive solutions are validated, refined, and scaled, ensuring that outcomes are transferable across borders and adaptable to varying national circumstances.

Our objective in the project is to design and analyze supply chains for critical materials and technologies. By mapping dependencies and vulnerabilities, MULTICLIMACT ensures that retrofitting and maintenance of the built environment, including cultural heritage assets, can be carried out with resilient, sustainable, and efficient supply chain operations. This perspective not only addresses immediate operational needs but also anticipates long-term challenges such as resource scarcity or logistics bottlenecks.

Beyond technical innovation, MULTICLIMACT contributes to policy and governance frameworks, offering guiding principles for adaptive planning, cross-border collaboration, and stakeholder engagement. By integrating scientific research, operational pilots, and institutional dialogue, the project aims to embed sustainable and resilient supply chains into Europe’s construction, maintenance, and heritage preservation practices.
