About
EIB Advisory through its JASPERS mandate, 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.
During the session, participants received an overview of the EC’s climate proofing methodology and its practical application in Spanish urban development projects, including real-world examples and practical recommendations.
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 urban development projects.
