About
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 sector projects in Spain, providing practical insights and examples.
Target Audience
The webinar was designed for stakeholders that are involved in the climate proofing process in Spain including infrastructure developers, European fund managers and technical staff involved in water, wastewater and flood protection projects.
Objectives
The webinar covered the following topics:
- Climate proofing methodology based on the EC Technical Guidance on Climate Proofing of Infrastructure for the period 2021-2027
- A case study of climate proofing assessment for wastewater treatment plant in the municipality of Elche in Alicante with practical insights and examples of adaptation measures
- Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS)
- Flood Protection approach for climate resilience and examples of flood protection projects in the climate context
- JASPERS practical guidance and case study of its application
- Interactive session with questions and answers to clarify key questions and discuss the difficulties that arise in the implementation of climate proofing in the sector
1. Application of the EC technical guidance on climate proofing
2. Flood protection and climate proofing
Practical application of the European Commission's technical guidance on climate proofing to urban development projects
About The EIB Advisory JASPERS, together with the Spanish Ministry of Finance (Directorate General for European Funds), hosted a webinar on 15 October 2025 focused on applying the European Commission’s Technical Guidance on Climate Proofing to urban development projects exceeding €10 million for recipients of EU funds in Spain. The aim of climate proofing is to guarantee that infrastructure can withstand the anticipated effects of climate change, while also ensuring that project-related greenhouse gas emissions align with both EU and Spanish decarbonization targets.
Practical application of the European Commission's technical guidance on climate proofing to renewable energy projects
EIB Advisory JASPERS, in collaboration with the 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 renewable energy projects over €10 million for beneficiaries of EU funds in Spain on September 29, 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.
Decarbonisation of district heating systems in Pre-accession and Eastern Neighbourhood countries
The EIB Advisory JASPERS Webinar on Decarbonisation of District Heating Systems ( DH) , focused on upgrading district heating systems to meet EU energy policy objectives, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing carbon intensity. The event highlighted the challenges faced by fossil fuel-based systems due to stricter emission standards and rising costs under the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Many existing systems need upgrades to comply with EU energy policies and the EU Strategy for Energy System Integration emphasizes investing in smart, efficient, renewable-based district heating to meet climate targets. Participants learned about the latest EU financing instruments, including the Modernisation Fund and Recovery and Resilience Facility, and discovered systematic approaches to project preparation. The webinar was ideal for managing authorities, line ministries, municipalities, and district heating companies. Attendees engaged in expert-led discussions, case studies, and Q&A sessions, advancing their knowledge in district heating decarbonisation and contributing to the EU's environmental targets.
