Cities across Europe are facing increasing risks from floods, heatwaves, storms and fires – but effective adaptation starts with understanding. A new series of quick guides on natural hazards, developed by Mission Projects REGILIENCE, IMPETUS, ARSINOE and TransformAr, provides clear and actionable information to support local and regional authorities in preparing, responding and building resilience to these threats.
