Testing and demonstrating innovative solutions to improve resilience to extreme heat, including addressing health impacts
Funds consortia to test and demonstrate extreme-heat resilience measures for buildings, public spaces and emergency services in at least three regional or local authorities.
This is an Innovation Action paid as a lump sum rather than reimbursed costs, evaluated with the programme's standard criteria, weighting, thresholds and post-decision timeline rather than a topic-specific scoring table. Because political and governance bottlenecks are treated as part of the challenge, proposals must bring in genuine social-sciences-and-humanities expertise rather than a purely te…
The funder wants demonstrated solutions that reduce the health and wellbeing impacts of extreme heat, from building retrofits and nature-based cooling to emergency-service readiness plans. Demonstrations must run in at least three regional or local authorities in different Member States or Associated Countries, with at least three more 'replicating' authorities lined up to reuse the results.
