This JASPERS’ practical guidance document on climate change resilience proofing is meant to provide further technical support and concrete advice for the implementation of the European Commission Notice — Technical guidance on the climate proofing of infrastructure in the period 2021-2027, with a specific focus on the sectors of Energy, Municipal Solid Waste Management, and Transport. The document serves as a comprehensive resource for stakeholders involved in the development of infrastructure projects that are to be co-financed by the Cohesion Fund and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the EU Member States and therefore need to be climate proofed according to the requirements of Article 73(2)(j) of the EU Common Provisions Regulation. Climate proofing has two pillars of analysis that integrate (1) climate mitigation and (2) climate resilience/adaptation considerations into the development of infrastructure projects. This document addresses the second pillar of climate resilience. Overall, the guidance also aims to serve as a general reference on good practices for climate change resilience proofing. The document will be revised as necessary to ensure it remains current and relevant.

Learn how JASPERS, the EIB's largest advisory programme, advises on integrating circular economy objectives in European funds and explores best practices in circular economy strategies.
The European Union aims to be climate-neutral by 2050. But if we want to meet this target, we urgently need an economic and social transformation. A transformation of our current production and consumption model into a more regenerative one.
The circular economy offers a solution to this problem — one capable of addressing global challenges like climate change mitigation and adaptation, pollution prevention, protection of biodiversity, and resource and energy efficiency.
In its Circular Economy Guide, the European Investment Bank Group outlines its approach to supporting the circular transition. To define and steer its circular economy lending and advisory operations, the Bank applies nine strategies called the "9Rs": refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose and recycle. JASPERS can advice on how to integrate these strategies into project design and development, taking a cross-sectoral and life cycle approach.
JASPERS helps you prepare circular economy strategies and projects that:
