EIB Advisory through its JASPERS mandate, in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of Finance (Directorate General for European Funds), organized a webinar on the practical application of the European Commission's Technical Guidance on Climate Proofing in water, wastewater and flood protection projects over €10 million for beneficiaries of EU funds in Spain on November 11, 2025. Climate proofing seeks to ensure that infrastructure is resilient to the potential impacts of climate change while ensuring that GHG emissions from projects are consistent with the EU and Spanish decarbonization objectives. This webinar provided an overview of the EC climate proofing methodology, its implementation in s projects in Spain, providing practical insights and examples.
A recently expanded drinking-water system and modernized wastewater system will provide reliable access to quality drinking water and connect people to the sewage network. Almost 200,000 people will benefit from this improvement. .
The EIB Advisory JASPERS has developed an Excel tool with the aim to support beneficiaries of small water & wastewater projects to complete a climate resilience assessment that is proportionate to the size of the projects. The Excel tool has been designed for the climate resilience assessment of small projects that need to comply with the climate proofing requirement of the Common Provisions Regulation Art. 73 point 2 (j).
Access to drinking water and sanitation services is of paramount importance for our health and the environment. Water is also essential for agriculture, industry and societal well-being.
