Visit to the Ceira River Basin Management Project in the face of climate change as part of the EEA Grants annual meeting

On 25 October, as part of the 7th Annual Meeting of the EEA Grants, a delegation visited the Ceira River Basin Management Project in Góis, an innovative initiative for climate adaptation.

The project, promoted by the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) with funding of 2.6 million euros from the EEA Grants, aims to increase resilience to climate change through environmental monitoring and rehabilitation strategies.

Divided into hydrological, ecological and socio-cultural components, the project addresses the monitoring of flows to mitigate extreme events such as floods and droughts. It also stands out for its revitalisation of green infrastructure and community involvement in historical and cultural preservation. The delegation's visit reaffirms Portugal's commitment to sustainability and climate adaptation.
