On 15 September 2025, Ecologic Institute and BC3 Basque Centre for Climate Change hosted the ACCREU Workshop: "Heat Resilient European Regions", focusing on what drives or hinders the implementation of health-related adaptation to heat at regional and local levels. This interactive workshop gathered insights and experiences on enabling factors and barriers, helping us understand why adaptation efforts have succeeded – or struggled –on the ground.

The event offered a collaborative platform for representatives from diverse sectors including industry, business, civil society, and policy. At this one-day workshop, the research team presented a stocktake of the latest research on sectoral and macro-economic climate risks and impacts, costs and benefits and potential for adaptation.

The Assessing Climate Change Risk in EUrope (ACCREU) project aims to support a just transition to climate resilience in the EU by co-creating and delivering actionable ideas and new knowledge. This project brings together diverse stakeholders to address climate change adaptation and mitigation in the face of new social and environmental challenges.
