2nd Stakeholders Workshop for the Attica Region - Climate Impetus project

The 2nd Stakeholders Workshop for the Attica Region in the framework of the Climate Impetus project took part online.

It was a successful, highly participatory workshop with a variety of stakeholders contributing to a series of live structured questions focusing on water scarcity matters of the region, while at the same time commenting on the various answers and results of interactive exercises.

The discussions were around the factors affecting water scarcity in Attica, currently and at a 20-30 years estimate, vulnerability indicators, as well as the impact of climate change in the agricultural sector, the ecosystems, the economy and society. We also asked from the participants to assess the usability and benefits of such approaches in enhancing the interest and promoting collaboration of various stakeholders towards common climate change adaptation strategies. Finally, the particular interventions and practices were discussed and evaluated in terms of technical and social readiness, feasibility, risks as well as scalability and transferability.
