Climate Change Handbook for Rural Areas
This guide is an integral part of the SURF project aimed at increasing opportunities for rural areas amidst the green transition and climate change
adaptation. This guide serves as the introductory framework for the entire project, functioning as a handbook that will be gradually expanded throughout
the project’s duration and beyond its conclusion.
It aims to lay the groundwork for developing the project and facilitate the effective adaptation of territories to climate change using practical tools. By understanding climate change adaptation, individuals and organizations can better prepare for future challenges, protect vulnerable populations, and contribute to a more sustainable rural future.

Local Workshops
Three local workshops will be held in the areas studied (Italy, Slovenia and Spain) , with participation of local specialists, adult educators, the rural community, and other stakeholders related to rural areas. This will allow community members to come together and share their perspectives and experiences with local issues related to climate change.
The three workshops will focus on identifying local risks, and will include participants from rural communities, particularly technicians and professionals involved in local development
