Rural Empowerment HUBS for climate resilience
REHUBS aims to address the issues of climate vulnerability in rural areas and in rural and small-to-medium communities, which face risks like droughts, heatwaves, wildfires, floods, and biodiversity loss. The project’s goal is to empower rural and small/medium local communities to enhance their climate resilience, promote their twin green and digital transition and contribute to the broader goals of climate adaptation in Europe.
Climate-Ready, Community Strong
REHUBS will identify and analyse existing financial instruments, by focusing on the local context and needs, engaging local stakeholders, and building capacity for financing climate adaptation measures.
The project’s six strategic objectives are listed below:
