Milestones:

ENAAC AdaPT Programme
"The municipalities will have
enormous importance in
terms of adaptation to
climate change. (...) it will be
at this level that many of the
main adaptation measures
will finally be put into
practice.
"This is a project that seeks
the training of local
government agents
(municipalities and municipal
companies) for the
development of Local
Strategies for Climate Change
Adaptation"
ENAAC 2020 XXI Government Programme
"Provide for the mandatory
definition of municipal and / or
intermunicipal strategies for
adaptation to climate change,
depending on local realities,
with necessary transposition for
land use management plans, in
particular for the Municipal
Master Plans (PDM)"
"Stresses, in particular, the
importance of promoting the
integration of climate change
adaptation into territorial
management instruments at
the local level (...)
(…) This effort should be used
later to generalize the
integration of adaptation to
the entire national territory.”

AdaPT Programme
Funding:
Web Portal with easy access, by the general
public and other project promoters, to
systematized information on climate
scenarios, of a regional nature.
Project aimed at training local administration
agents for the development of Local Strategies
for Climate Change Adaptation .
Integrate and complement environmental
education in the field of climate change, in the
aspects of mitigation and adaptation, in pilot
schools. Prize for the best project to
implement measures related to climate change
in the school environment.
5 projects to support the development of
studies or implementation of measures (pilot
or demonstration) identified as relevant in the
field of the ENAAC sectorial groups.
Project areas under the AdaPT programme:
ClimAdaPT.Local project
Funded at 100%: 1.499.862€
Duration: from October 2014 to
December 2016
General objective of the call (AdaPT Program):
"The improvement of the capacity of Portuguese municipalities to incorporate adaptation to climate change in their planning instruments and their local interventions"
Specific objectives of the project:
• Produce 26 Municipal Strategies for Climate
Change Adaptation (EMAAC)
• Training of 52 municipal technicians in adaptation to climate change
• Communication and creation of a web platform
for municipal adaptation to climate change
• Promote the creation of a network of
municipalities for local adaptation to climate
change
• Produce guidelines for the integration of
adaptation into municipal planning

Metropolitan strategy forclimate change adaptation
Metropolitan adaptation agenda:
• 4 Prioritary climate risks
• 13 Strategic objectives
• 76 Adaptation measures
A metropolis prepared to deal with climate change, promoting adaptation as an instrument
to build a more sustainable territory, to guarantee a more equitable and territorially fairer
development model, to affirm its capacity for innovation and its global attractiveness.

Training of local officials and stakeholder engagement
Training programme
• 6 training workshops with local officials
Stakeholder engagement
• 18 municipal workshops
• 9 sectoral workshops
• 3 thematic/sectoral workshops
• 2 intermunicipal workshops
Public awareness and communication
• 3 international conferences
Results:
2.000 participants
40 events
Main outputs of theMetropolitan Adaptation Plan
• Final reports of the Metropolitan
Plan
• Municipal reports on local risks
and vulnernabilities
• Guidelines for the integration of adaptation in municipal land use
planning
• Online information platform based on GIS Webmapping
• Online forms to collect monitoring
data
Lessons of experience:
• External financing is still a decisive boost for local and regional
adaptation planning processes
• It is possible for municipalities to develop simple adaptation strategies
internally, but external technical and scientific support resources (training, manuals, data...) need to be previously available
• The quality of adaptation plans improves with the densification of knowledge of the local climate, territory and affected sectors
• The involvement of local and sectoral stakeholders is essential for the adaptive strategy to be assumed by local communities and well
succeeded
• Networking between municipalities is very important for learning and
sharing experiences, developing joint projects, but also for lobbying.
• It is essential that plans are fully operational, and oriented towards
actions and the collection of financial resources for local adaptation
• Municipal adaptation plans must evolve towards Local Climate Action
Plans (4th generation, pioneered by the Loulé PMAC).
