The aim of the CARMINE project is to help European metropolitan communities become more resilient to climate change by co-creating tools, strategies, and plans based on scientific knowledge to strengthen adaptation and mitigation actions, in line with the EU's mission on Adaptation to Climate Change.

The main benefits of the project include:

• Improved resilience of cities to extreme climate events.
• Decision support services based on impacts and multi-level climate governance.
• Strengthened cooperation between local and regional actors for policy-making.
• Development and implementation of both traditional and nature-based solutions.
• Scientifically documented methodologies for adaptation plans at the local level.
