Improving climate resilience of navigable inland waterways, their surroundings and related water infrastructure

Expected Outcome: Successful proposals will support the implementation of the EU Adaptation Strategy, the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, the European Water Resilience Strategy, the EU Preparedness Strategy and the upcoming European Climate Adaptation Plan. Proposals are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes: Navigable inland waterways, their surroundings and related infrastructure are managed in a more integrated and sustainable manner across Europe and become more climate-resilient Climate and environmental risks to water infrastructure (e.g. droughts, flooding, slow onset events, ecological degradation and cascading and compound events) are more effectively addressed in a systemic way. Safe, efficient and reliable navigability conditions are improved. Cost-efficient and environmentally friendly measures -- especially nature-based solutions -- are identified with the involvement of stakeholders. They improve climate resilience of inland waterways while supporting integrated co-benefit and avoiding competing water uses, including between countries and regions. Scope: Rationale There are about 42,000 kilometres of navigable inland waterways in the EU, with a network spanning 25 Member States. In 2022, 122.1 billion tonne-kilometres were transported through inland waters, making up 5,1% of the total land freight transport volumes within the EU. Inland waterways are one of the most carbon efficient mode of transportation for freight and their role …bron

• Proposals must support implementation of the EU Adaptation Strategy, EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, European Water Resilience Strategy, EU Preparedness Strategy and European Climate Adaptation Plan
• Address the lack of a common climate modelling framework for EU waterways and improve predictions and projections
• Conduct comprehensive climate risk assessment of EU navigable waterways from the Trans-European Transport network (TEN-T)
• Estimate investments required to adapt to climate change and costs of inaction
• Provide actionable information to guide effective climate adaptation solutions that maximise co-benefits
• Develop adaptation solutions on various waterways with priority for nature-based solutions and nature restoration
• Enhance stakeholder collaboration mechanisms
• Eligible countries as described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes
