More information
The Virtual Regions Forum, held online on 10-12 March 2026, was organised with the aim of replicating the fruitful exchange and co-learning of the workshop organized in June 2025 in Barcelona, combining it with the dynamic experience gained during the project’s webstivals. The event, aimed exclusively at the CLIMAAX regions, includes inspirational presentations, ample time for questions, and breakout groups to ensure participants can interact with each other.
The event was organised by the project partner CMCC and moderated by Athanasia Tompolidi (EURADA).
The core of the forum focused on regional case studies, with the aim of illustrating how different territories are applying the CLIMAAX Framework to assess and prioritise climate risks. Four regions, selected from both of the project’s open calls, were invited to share their experience, starting with the decision-making context and regional background in which the Climate Risk Assessment was developed, as well as the main issues and risk components analysed. The presentations then highlighted the most relevant findings emerging from the assessments, with particular attention to the results considered most significant or insightful for each territory.
A further key aspect concerned the usability of the results and their concrete impact at the regional level, for example in relation to decision-making processes, planning activities, and stakeholder engagement. The regions also outlined the next steps they intend to take to build on the work carried out within the project and to further capitalise on the analyses produced. Finally, space was devoted to reflecting on the lessons learned throughout the process, with the aim of identifying insights that could be useful and transferable to other regions participating in the project.
