The exchange between the cities of Tampere and Cascais on climate change adaptation

Climate adaptation is a strategic priority for the city of Tampere. Looking for new ways to improve monitoring and evaluation, citizen and stakeholder engagement, and urban green spaces to alleviate the effects of climate change, Tampere decided to learn from peer city Cascais. This was the perfect match, due to Cascais’ experience in nature-based solutions, climate financing, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, and circular economy for low carbon emissions. The City-to-City Exchange set out to focus on the co-creation of local objectives and measures, encouraging relevant actors to stay committed through to implementation.
