About
The Common Provision Regulations calls for Managing Authorities to ensure the climate proofing of investments in infrastructure which have an expected lifespan of at least 5 years. Climate proofing will be also required for investments to be financed by the InvestEU fund and for selected calls under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). It is a challenging topic and JASPERS supports several EU Member States in concretely implementing the climate proofing requirements at national and regional level and provides them with technical capacity building and advice.
JASPERS in cooperation with the DG REGIO organised the webinar “Climate proofing of infrastructure projects in 2021-27 – Sharing of experiences and good practices”.
Target audience
The webinar was designed to promote the sharing of best practices and experiences among Managing Authorities, implementing bodies and line ministries dealing with the implementation of climate proofing requirements at national and regional level across EU Member States.
Objectives
The webinar included:
- Panel discussion with representatives from Managing Authorities and relevant Ministries on the implementation of the climate proofing requirement, best practices and obstacles encountered.
- Discussion session which gave all participants the chance to talk about the experience and challenges for implementing this important requirement.
- Presentation of climate adaptation guidance and tools that JASPERS has prepared to facilitate the climate resilience assessment within the climate proofing exercise.
- Open session that gave the chance to the participants to express the needs for further advisory support and capacity building related to climate proofing.

Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) training session in Prague, Czechia
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.
