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 in this seminar delivered by JASPERS, EIB's largest advisory programme, about the National SUMP Support Programme (NSSP) Introductory Workshop. The purpose of the event is to discuss NSSPs, to showcase best practice examples and to identify additional NSSP training needs for national and regional authorities and for the 432 urban nodes on the TEN-T network.
Held on October 9-10, 2024, the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) training in Prague, Czechia, successfully attracted 26 participants. The training included three core modules on SUMP methodology and six selected modules that provided an in-depth look at specific SUMP-related topics and their integration into a SUMP. The training began with introductions by Mgr. Michal Ulrich from the Czech Ministry of Transport and Paul Riley from EIB-JASPERS, followed by a tour de table. Participants then discussed the basics of SUMP methodology and practice, explored the link between strategic plans and project preparation, and discussed urban nodes and the interface between local and strategic transport. The day continued with sessions on indicators, targets, and monitoring, and concluded with a focus on road safety and street design, wrapping up with a summary of the day’s activities. The second day covered sessions on SUMPs for small and medium-sized cities, active modes and micro-mobility, and freight and logistics. The afternoon covered citizen and stakeholder engagement and communication, with the training concluding with wrap-up remarks.
Water and air transportation are critical to trade between the European Union and the rest of the world. But these channels also connect people, while their industries create jobs and make other vital contributions to our economy.
Crucial as they are, air, maritime and inland waterway routes should connect efficiently with other transport networks, like roads and rail.
