The first webinar, "Climate Resilience Proofing for Buildings and Energy Infrastructure Projects," was held on November 4, 2024. The second webinar, "Climate Resilience Proofing for Flood Protection Infrastructure Projects," took place on November 18, 2024.
Target audience
These webinars were designed for beneficiaries of EU funding in Greece who are required to perform climate proofing assessments in accordance with the Common Provisions Regulation.
Objectives
The webinars covered the following topics:
- Climate proofing methodology based on the EC Technical Guidance on Climate Proofing of Infrastructure for the period 2021-2027
- Climate considerations in the Greek environmental permitting process

Climate change measures for hospitals and health infrastructures
The health sector is one of the most CO2-intense sector of economy, however at present this trend is evolving. In fact, many health sector organizations advocate the reduction of CO2 emissions while recognizing the importance of proofing them against climate risks, such as flooding or storms. Currently there are promising results which need to be further boosted, in terms of reduced energy consumption and increased energy efficiency, adoption of renewable energy sources making hospitals self-sufficient in case of power-cuts, enhanced thermo-isolation generating better living conditions and reduced expenses for cooling and heating, enhanced resilience to climate hazards, increased living and working conditions for the hospitals’ occupants, and green procurement. JASPERS has completed an assignment aimed at understanding which are the most effective climate change approaches and solutions for health infrastructures.
