Deliverable D8.1 has been published as a formal MULTICLIMACT output and a milestone for connecting local policy reality with project methods. It shows how adaptation policies and measures in the Spanish demo case are reviewed, compared and strengthened so they can better support a climate proof built environment.

MULTICLIMACT has released Deliverable D8.1, “Developing adaptation policies and measures for enabling a climate proof built environment, application to a real demo”.
D8.1 focuses on how existing adaptation policies and planned measures in the Spanish demo case can support the transition to a climate proof built environment, and it explicitly applies and operationalises the methodologies developed earlier in Task 2.1 in the real context of Barcelona and the Catalonia region. The deliverable describes a desk review and comparative analysis of local adaptation policies and measures, structured around key criteria to support strategic evaluation, and it aims to synthesise territorial and urban scale policies and measures into a single document so that alignment across scales becomes easier to navigate. It also reports that the Task expands the Task 2.1 catalogue through additional measures identified in local policy documents and integrates Key Performance Indicators from Task 1.2 into updated factsheets to support quantitative resilience assessment for measures intended for the Barcelona case study, including cool pavement, porous pavement and bioswale. The deliverable lists key outputs such as the identification and analysis of relevant adaptation policies at territorial and urban level, the extraction of measures from those policies, and a comparison between locally identified measures and those already included in the Task 2.1 catalogue, alongside additional factsheets for recurrent measures and KPI association for the measures relevant to the demo context. As a communication milestone, D8.1 helps make the policy and measure landscape readable and comparable, while keeping it anchored in the real context of the Spanish demo and directly supporting the following demonstration task focused on urban scale testing.
The deliverable is led by the CMCC Foundation, with collaboration from ICLEI Europe, UKA, NCSRD, and Barcelona City Council, bringing together policy, urban governance and technical expertise around the Spanish demo context.
About MULTICLIMACT:
MULTICLIMACT is an EU-funded project aimed at safeguarding Europe’s built environment against the increasing threats of natural and climatic hazards. By uniting 25 leading European organisations, MULTICLIMACT aims to enhance resilience, sustainability, and safety for communities across the continent. Through innovative strategies, including a toolkit of 20 reliable methods and digital solutions, the project targets the urgent need for adaptive measures against floods, earthquakes, extreme weather conditions and heatwaves. Tested across four pilot sites with diverse climatic conditions, MULTICLIMACT embodies a shared vision for a safer, more resilient future, focusing on actions to reduce the impact of climate change on the built environment.
