the proposal should address the multi-risks locally identified as climate vulnerability, addressing in a systemic approach one or more of the systems identified as key for climate resilience building in the Mission Implementation Plan Mission. For example, the proposed systemic solution could include one or more of the following:

• restoration of ecosystems and the establishment of ecological corridors, taking into account also the benefits and trade-offs for biodiversity, in particular in relation to soil and coastal erosion;
• solutions to better manage water scarcity and mitigate the impacts of droughts or to better manage water flooding, such as greening of infrastructures, tree planting, increasing of permeable green surfaces, or river deculverting in cities, peatland, wetland and floodplain restoration;
• solutions for a more climate resilient agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry as well as climate resilient food systems, such as culture rotation, silvo-pasture and other agroecology approaches in farmland, in particular in relation to droughts and water multi-usage and management;
• solutions for building and/or managing new critical infrastructure and/or upgrading existing ones through green/blue/hybrid infrastructure, in particular in relation to climate-proofing it towards extreme events;
• climate-proofing the development of incentive schemes fostering efficient use and allocation of water and solutions to reduce the vulnerability to water-related risks;
• regeneration of public spaces to create climate resilient neighbourhoods, in particular in relation to heat-waves and flooding events and their potential risks for human health and well-being;
• inclusion of digital solutions and services to better predict, monitor and report on climate events, in particular towards vulnerable and marginalised populations;
• economic analysis and business models to support decisions making, in particular in relation on investments balance between reducing risks through building climate resilience and improving climate risk preparedness and climate emergency management.
