PAUL – Pilot Application in Urban Landscapes – towards integrated city observatories for greenhouse gases

PAUL project supports the European Green Deal by creating capabilities to observe and verify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from densely populated urban areas across Europe. Cities are recognized as important anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission hotspots and therefore play a significant role in any emission reduction efforts. The PAUL project aims to increase our understanding of specific needs of GHG emission assessment in urban environment; it compares available and novel observational approaches and implements an integrated concept for a city observatory, providing unique data sets that feed diverse modelling approaches, scientific studies and will be the base of services towards the city administrations.

PEERS – Peer Review of the Disaster Risk Management

The objective of PEERS is to implement, over a period of 58 months (2020-2024) a programme of peer reviews targeting a maximum of five countries wishing to have their disaster risk management/civil protection system reviewed. The programme will allow for peer reviews of a country’s civil protection/disaster risk management system and policies and/or specific aspects/issues of civil protection/disaster risk management put forward by the reviewed country (e.g. with focus on particular types of risks and/or certain geographical areas, risk assessment, risk management capability assessments, legislative framework for disaster risk management, prevention and/or preparedness strategies, etc.). The peer review process will also foster policy dialogue, improve coherence and steer progress in critical areas for the EU cooperation on civil protection and disaster risk management.

PEERS 2: UCPM Peer review programme of disaster risk management and civil protection system

The European Commission’s Directorate General for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO), under the framework of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM), supports countries and regions to review their disaster risk management (DRM) policies and practices by taking stock of strengths and areas for improvements and putting forward recommendations to increase resilience. The objective of the UCPM Peer review programme is to implement, over a period of 36 months a cycle of peer reviews targeting a maximum of six countries/regions wishing to have their disaster risk management/civil protection system reviewed. UCPM peer reviews promote an integrated approach to DRM by taking a comprehensive look at risk governance, risk assessment, risk management planning, and all stages of the disaster risk management cycle. The peer review process fosters policy dialogue and coherence, facilitates mutual learning and exchange of good practice, and steers progress in critical areas for the EU cooperation on civil protection and disaster risk management. CMCC will support DG ECHO in the implementation of the overall programme, both technically and logistically.

Evidence-based measures will be promoted starting from the best practices of national and international plans, policies and interventions with a focus on sustainable transport and combating urban heat island (UHI) and high temperatures. A specific focus will be devoted to vulnerability factors (clinical frailty and social vulnerability) and adaptation measures associated with social equity.
