LIFE METRO ADAPT is a European project, funded by the LIFE programme, which lasted from September 2018 to September 2021. It involved the Metropolitan City of Milan (CMM), the CAP Group, e-Geos, Ambiente Italia, ALDA- European Association for Local Democracy and Legambiente Lombardia.
LIFE METRO ADAPT je imao za cilj da uvede strategije i mjere prilagođavanja u razvoju teritorijalnog plana za CMM i u pravilima planiranja i izgradnje 134 CMM opštine. Ovaj cilj je postignut kroz usvajanje inovativnog pristupa koji identifikuje ulogu posrednih upravnih tijela. Projekat je takođe uspjeo da promoviše riješenja zasnovana na prirodi za postizanje niza ciljeva, kao što su smanjenje rizika od poplava i efekat toplotnog ostrva, uz regeneraciju zapuštenih urbanih prostora.
Projekat je imao za cilj jačanje inicijative odozdo prema gore i na taj način povećanja svijesti i angažmana građana u pitanjima vezanim za prilagođavanje klimatskih promjena. Implementacija demonstracionih objekata direktno je uključivala zainteresovane strane iz građevinskog sektora i inženjerske stručnjake koji rade u vodoprivredi. Nadalje, LIFE METRO ADAPT je razvio inovativne meteorološke satelitske podatke i precizne karte za zaptivanje tla, kako bi napravio detaljnu analizu ranljivosti (fokusirajući se posebno na toplotno ostrvo i poplave). Cilj je bio osigurati dostupnost informacija specifičnih za svaku općinu.
Konačno, cilj projekta se sastojao od razvoja mreže metropolitanskih područja u Italiji i drugdje u Evropi kako bi se poboljšale politike integracije i mjere prilagođavanja i podržala implementacija rješenja zasnovanih na prirodi.
LIFE METRO ADAPT mainstreamed climate change adaptation strategies and measures in the new territorial plan of the Metropolitan City of Milan in Italy. This has successfully enhanced bottom-up initiatives related to adaptation throughout the metropolitan area. The project team created an effective governance model, and significantly increased awareness of climate change issues among the general public, technical stakeholders, and local policymakers. They spread the ‘culture’ of climate change adaptation, in particular nature-based solutions (NBS) and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), through a series of legal and guidance documents.
These results have led the European Commission to recognise the relevance of the project, both in Lombardy and at European level, as an example of successful climate action and to shortlist it for the LIFE Awards 2023.
The Awards recognise excellence in nature protection, environment, and climate action. A hybrid ceremony announcing the winners is scheduled for 6 June during EU Green Week 2023– the key event in the EU environment policy calendar. A special jury will nominate the winners for this award. However, citizens can make their voices heard by voting for the LIFE Citizens’ Award.

- On 22 and 23 February 2023, the Metropolitan City of Milan (CMM) brought its experience to the TAIEX TRATOLOW international workshop on “Urban Adaptation, Resilience and the SECAP Adaptation Component” taking place in Istanbul (Türkiye). The overall objective of the workshop was to further support and promote exchanges between the beneficiaries (Balkan countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Türkiye) and urban areas by sharing experiences and good practices. In particular, adaptation efforts in the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP). The focus was on the climate risks of heat and flooding, in particular on local vulnerability, impact and risk assessment, cost/benefit of adaptation solutions, local adaptation planning and implementation of adaptation solutions. In this sense, the Metropolitan City of Milan was invited to present the adaptation measures implemented in its territory through the European LIFE METRO ADAPT project.
- The Metropolitan City of Milan (CMM) called to share good practices of territorial network development during the workshop of the Interreg Maritime Project ReS_EAU – Nice 27 February 2022. CMM was also called upon in this context to bring its experience, particularly in the area of territorial engagement on the topic of climate change adaptation, which builds on the work done through the LIFE Metro Adapt Project.
Mart 2022
As part of The Nature of Cities Festival, a 3-day virtual event that took place from 29 to 31 March 2022, the LIFE Metro Adapt project was invited to the webinar “Reshaping Cities: How Urban Areas Can Tackle Climate Change” hold by the LIFE Beware project.
The seed session focused on the topic of Cities’ resilience to Climate Change and, thanks to the contribution of four projects (among which LIFE METRO ADAPT) it highlighted various ways and best practices in which urban areas can successfully address this issue, in an innovative way. In particular, Maria Rosaria Scoppettuolo and Valeria Guerrini from the partner Gruppo CAP presented “LIFE METRO ADAPT – The implementation of Nature Based Solutions in the Metropolitan Area of Milan”, showing the best practices developed within the project and how they successfully impacted the territory.
