Project overview
INnovative strategies for the Adoption of risk management plans to enhance the resilience of sensitive Cultural and natural heritage Objectives against climate hazards in river basin districts
Climate change increases the intensity and frequency of hydrometeorological events, including landslides, flash floods, storms, heat waves or prolonged drought periods. Amongst other negative consequences, this endangers natural and cultural heritage sites close to river basins. The INACO project strengthens the resilience of these by deploying joint adaptation strategies. The partners also design and test new WebGIS-based solutions for heritage sites and tools for them to self-assess their vulnerability. Last but not least, specially trained risk managers are introduced in selected pilot regions.

Roadmap
Challenge
Improving the resilience of the Central European regions in facing climate change impacts on Cultural Natural Heritage within river basin districts, which stand in front of challenges imposed by the effects of hydro-meteorological hazards.
Specific problem
Climate change, especially extreme weather events, poses an increasing threat to cultural and natural heritage, as well as to the safety of their users. Lack of appropriate action, inadequate restoration and lack of management plans increase the vulnerability of these areas.
Idea
INACO aims to support cultural and natural heritage sites located in river basin areas in the face of climate change challenges. The project will develop risk management tools, which will then be tested in eight pilot sites across Central Europe, including Croatia, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Solution
The project includes three different pilot activities, which concern: • nature reserves, historic villages and gardens located downstream and on the coast (including Po Delta - Italy, Dubrovnik River - Croatia). • nature reserves, historic buildings and archaeological sites located near lakes (Lake Neusiedl - Austria, City of Fonyód - Hungary). • historic complexes, parks and gardens in the upper reaches of rivers (Wiesent and Rednitz Valley - Germany, Jelenia Góra Valley - Poland, Kosice Region - Slovakia, Vltava River Valley - Czech Republic).
