Clima, REsilienza, Sostenibilità, Competenze, Innovazione, Transizione, Adattamento

The CRESCITA project aims to strengthen the climate resilience of cross-border Alpine inland areas between Italy and Austria, territories particularly exposed to increasing risks such as landslides, floods, droughts, and heatwaves. In this context, the project addresses the limited availability of integrated tools and the fragmentation of decision-making processes by proposing an operational model for climate adaptation that combines technological innovation, collaborative governance, and the active involvement of local communities.
A central element of the initiative is the Climate Adaptation Suite (CAS), a digital and methodological toolkit designed to support public administrations in analysing climate vulnerabilities, defining intervention priorities, and planning data-driven adaptation strategies. Alongside the technological component, the project promotes participatory processes through territorial labs, citizen science tools, and co-creation activities aimed at developing and testing Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). In parallel, training and capacity-building activities are planned for technical staff and public officials. These actions are intended to strengthen local skills, increase community awareness, and foster a shared approach to climate risk management.

Type of service

Informest coordinates the partnership by ensuring the technical, administrative, and financial management of the project for the proper implementation and progress of its activities. In terms of content, it contributes to the design and validation of the Climate Adaptation Suite, promoting its integration into local planning processes and its use by public administrations. Informest also supports stakeholder engagement and local participatory processes, facilitating dialogue among institutional, technical, and community actors, and coordinates communication and dissemination activities to enhance the project’s results and ensure their replicability at the cross-border level.
