The conference is organised within the FOSTER - Future oriented Solutions Toward Environmental Resilience, a two-year project funded by the CERV - Citizens Equality Rights and Values programme of the European Union. The project aims to contribute to the development of governance frameworks that can effectively and inclusively address future environmental challenges at the local level, by fostering strategic foresight and preventative local management of climate change-related phenomena. Started in September 2024, during the project, participants build capacity for foreseeing and analysing future socio-economic needs as consequences of climate change at the local level; as well as, co-designing potential solutions bringing together all relevant stakeholders and community representatives at the public and private levels. Finally, international online networks are created to share best practices, materials and widely raise the debate on future oriented environmental governance.
