Open Seminar #2 : Community-based adaptation and resilience

Climate change is already affecting our daily lives — through floods, heatwaves, or food insecurity. But when communities come together, they can find smart and simple ways to prepare and stay safe.
This free online seminar will show how local action can make a real difference. You’ll discover how neighbours, families, and local groups can build stronger, more connected and resilient communities.

What to expect

During the session, we will talk about:

  • How to create local emergency plans to face climate risks

  • Why strong community ties matter in times of crisis

  • How local farming and food projects can help your community stay healthy and sustainable

You’ll also be invited to take part in a new citizen survey for the Central Macedonia region — your voice can help shape better local responses to climate change.
