In the coming years, Norwegian municipalities and businesses must adapt to the effects of climate change. SINTEF is leading RESIST, a major EU-funded project aimed at developing new knowledge and solutions for climate adaptation across Europe. The goal is to support at least 150 regions in becoming more resilient to climate challenges.
In Norway, the Vesterålen region is participating through the Vesterålsrådet, Museum Nord, and Andfjord Salmon. Together with 56 European partners, they will help strengthen local communities and develop sustainable solutions.
RESIST will carry out four large-scale demonstrations of climate adaptation in vulnerable regions and share knowledge with eight twin regions. The project involves researchers, businesses, governments, and citizens, aiming to reduce climate risks, increase green investments, and build local resilience.
SINTEF will develop solutions that use XR technologies to present the challenges of climate change and the available solutions to the public and decision-makers.
