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.

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.
