LIFE23-IPC-SI-LIFE4ADAPT
Slovenia’s Strategic Integrated LIFE Project for Adaptation – LIFE4ADAPT, aims at contributing to full implementation of the national adaptation strategy (NAS), i.e. the Strategic Framework for Climate Change Adaptation (SFCCA), adopted by the Government in 2016. The project proposes a comprehensive set of activities to target the main bottlenecks in climate change adaptation, adjust to major known risks and includes key stakeholders in the process, as foreseen by the SFCCA. So far the implementation of the NAS was facing major barriers in the form of institutional capacity, know-how and wider recognition of risks, leading to suboptimal implementation of capabilities and capacities across all sectors, levels of government and wider public.
NATURGO
Moving towards the systematic integration of nature-based solutions (NBS) into the water landscape and infrastructure of cities will require a reorientation of urban governance at the strategic level. Strategies will need to be oriented by a long-term vision of urban nature and its benefits for all in the water sector; having key elements of a strategy in place; and a clear sense of how transformation can be enabled.

4PETHABECO
The 4PETHABECO project aims to preserve the populations of large carnivores by testing innovative solutions for their protection and restoration of their habitats, especially through the strengthening of green infrastructure, the reduction of coexistence conflicts and the improvement of connectivity. The specific objectives of the 4PETHABECO project are: reinforcement of collaboration inside Adriatic-Ionian area to foster synergies and harmonization of large carnivores’ monitoring procedures and techniques, increase transparency of data acquisition and interpretation, dealing with increasing challenges regarding the conflicts related to populations of large carnivores and human coexistence, by improving participatory processes for innovative management of large carnivores’ habitats, creating a knowledge base and an interactive platform of the Adriatic-Ionian area for solving coexistence conflicts, improving the understanding of the cultural, social and environmental diversity of the area. The long-term effects of the project, conservation of large carnivores and the improvement of their resilience, will be ensured through the co-creation of joint strategies and action plans of the Adriatic-Ionian area for the joint management of large carnivore populations, the protection and increase of their terrestrial habitats and their connectivity, which will also enable the implementation of the objectives of the EUSAIR cross-border flagship PET HAB ECO.

TransformERS
The overarching aim of TransformERS is to inform research, policy and practice for transformations that deliver justice in a changing global context by bringing together and positioning research relevant to societal transformation

RethinkBlue
The COST Action RethinkBlue centres around the Blue Economy and related policies affecting European societies. The purpose is to rethink the Blue Economy, in two ways. First, by assessing its impact on coastal societies, and second, by exploring opportunities deriving from innovations and potential synergies between established and emergent marine activities.

ECO2SMART
The ECO2SMART project promotes active awareness of citizens to strengthen ecosystem-based climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention. Through this boosting the resilience of the coastal areas involved in the project.

POSEIDONE
The POSEIDONE project is aimed at the functional area of the northern Adriatic Sea, from the city of Chioggia (Italy) to the Slovenian coast. The general goal of the project is the promotion of local development by favoring the protection of nature and biodiversity, the development of green and blue infrastructures in Natura 2000 sites, the reduction of tourist pressure on natural parks or natural areas, the improvement of the landscape by the promotion of biodiversity in agriculture, the protection of native species and the dissemination of knowledge.

SCORE
The overall aim of SCORE is to design, develop, monitor and validate robust adaptation measures in coastal and low-lying areas to protect them from increasing climate and sea level risks, including coastal flooding and erosion, to enhance their overall long-term resilience.
Norm transfer in the EU and Slovenia – evaluating environmental and sustainability transformation
The project seeks to characterise recent environmental regulation from a temporal and spatial perspective, especially against the notion of sustainability and legal principle of sustainable development. The purpose is to contribute to an understanding of recent EU and transnational regulatory action related to the environment, including its drivers, assumptions and the scope of ambition in relation to sustainability, but also to include excluded voices.
