ProgrammesThis online event looks at how disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation can be better connected in regional and local climate risk management. It brings together expert speakers from research and EU-funded projects, with a high-level panel linked to the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. The session is co-organised by the CLIMAAX and CARMINE projects.
Climate-related hazards such as floods, droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and windstorms affect European regions in different ways. This event looks at how stronger links between disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation can improve resilience and avoid maladaptation, especially where local implementation and regulation remain fragmented.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP Flanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
