CONCORDIA
Specific objective: SO 4 - Promoting climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention, resilience, taking into account eco-system based approaches
Typology: Standard project
Project CONCORDIA addresses the shared challenges of the Italy-Slovenia border region, a geologically diverse area highly vulnerable to seismic and landslide risks. These hazards pose significant threats to local communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems, often leading to cascading events that amplify their impacts. Building on the success of the ARMONIA Interreg project, which focused on harmonizing seismic data and methodologies, CONCORDIA expands these efforts to include landslide hazards and integrated real-time monitoring and response systems. The region requires a coordinated approach to ensure safety and resilience, moving beyond fragmented systems to unified strategies that improve preparedness and emergency response.
- improve the effectiveness of emergency response and cross-border coordination between Italy and Slovenia;
- harmonise monitoring systems, to develop integrated real-time warning tools and standardise methodologies;
- reduce the social and economic impacts of seismic and landslide events, promoting safer and more resilient communities;
- strengthen the resilience of the Italy-Slovenia cross-border region to earthquake and landslide risks by establishing a unified monitoring and response network;
The expected outcome is a significant improvement in response times and decision-making processes, driven by shared resources and coordinated action. The project’s outputs include harmonized exposure models, real-time impact scenarios, and enhanced monitoring systems, all designed to be interoperable across borders. These tools not only improve emergency response but also support long-term planning and risk mitigation strategies. Beneficiaries include civil protection agencies, local authorities, scientific institutions, and crossborder communities, who will gain access to standardized data and tools to manage shared risks more effectively.
