The lecture will commence with an introduction to the SCORE project by Coordinator Salem Gharbia, followed by discussions on empowering coastal cities to adapt to evolving climate risks. Attendees can participate in parallel talks available in multiple languages, including English, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Spanish, and Turkish.

Local workshops will be organized in all Coastal City Living Labs (CCLLs) to address specific community needs and interests.

In Vilanova i la Geltrú this workshop will be organized on March 20th. Register information will be coming soon.

  • Local Activities & Wrap-up Events: Between February and March 2025, various citizen engagement activities will take place across the 10 SCORE CCLLs.
