IRIS aims to support companies, especially SMEs, that are increasingly facing climatic events of extraordinary magnitude in recent years, which threaten production and plants or compromise the functionality of infrastructures in the area. In particular, the experiment involved companies belonging to the same production area (two industrial realities in Emilia-Romagna were chosen) and companies belonging to the same production chain, Carlsberg Italia.
A climate change risk analysis was carried out for each cluster; on the basis of the risk analysis, a Climate Adaptation Action Plan was realised for each of the clusters; financial/insurance mechanisms based on rewarding criteria for resilient companies or companies belonging to resilient clusters were designed; and a web portal containing climate adaptation tools was created.
THE ROLE OF TERRARIA
TerrAria was involved in the development of this tool called CAST: it is a useful information system for companies that want to assess their vulnerability to climate change and want to identify efficient adaptation measures. TerrAria was also a member of the Steering Committee.
