AT A GLANCE
FOSTER – Future Oriented Solutions Toward Environmental Resilience – aims to contribute to the development of governance frameworks that can effectively and inclusively address future environmental challenges at local level, by fostering foresight strategies and preventative local management of climate change-related phenomena. Indeed, during the project, participants build capacity for foreseeing and analyzing future socio-economic needs as consequences of climate change at local level; as well as, co- designing potential solutions bringing together all relevant stakeholders and community representatives at public and private level. Finally, internal online networks are created to share best practices, materials and widely raise the debate of future oriented environmental governance.
