STAR2Cs Pilot Projects

Through cross-border collaboration and 8 varied pilots, the STAR2Cs project has created adaptation solutions that are transferable and holistically build the capacity to deliver adaptation measures in the short-term.

Follow the links below to see how the organisations involved in STAR2Cs have embedded adaptation into their decision-making and planning processes to stimulate short-term incremental actions tailored to their local areas.
