Bygg beredskap för framtidens klimatutmaningar

This funding opportunity supports projects and feasibility studies in Norrbotten and Västerbotten regions of Sweden focused on climate adaptation and disaster preparedness. Climate change is already affecting daily life through increased risks of flooding, forest fires, and other climate-related events that impact people, infrastructure, and society. In northern Sweden, with long distances, sparse population, and harsh weather conditions, it is particularly important to create robust solutions. The program supports actors who want to develop and implement measures that strengthen protection against floods, reduce the risk of forest fires, and make communities more resilient to climate-related disasters. Projects should combine traditional knowledge with new technology, develop locally adapted solutions, and contribute to long-term resilience in both Sami industries and municipal operations. The initiative encourages projects that create synergies between climate adaptation and preparedness, as long as the main focus is on reducing vulnerability to climate-related risks.
