Project overview
INnovative strategies for the Adoption of risk management plans to enhance the resilience of sensitive Cultural and natural heritage Objectives against climate hazards in river basin districts
Climate change increases the intensity and frequency of hydrometeorological events, including landslides, flash floods, storms, heat waves or prolonged drought periods. Amongst other negative consequences, this endangers natural and cultural heritage sites close to river basins. The INACO project strengthens the resilience of these by deploying joint adaptation strategies. The partners also design and test new WebGIS-based solutions for heritage sites and tools for them to self-assess their vulnerability. Last but not least, specially trained risk managers are introduced in selected pilot regions.

Roadmap
1
Challenge
Improving the resilience of the Central European regions in facing climate change impacts on Cultural Natural Heritage within river basin districts, which stand in front of challenges imposed by the effects of hydro-meteorological hazards.
2
Specific problem
Climate change, especially extreme weather events, poses an increasing threat to cultural and natural heritage, as well as to the safety of their users. Lack of appropriate action, inadequate restoration and lack of management plans increase the vulnerability of these areas.
3
Idea
INACO aims to support cultural and natural heritage sites located in river basin areas in the face of climate change challenges.
The project will develop risk management tools, which will then be tested in eight pilot sites across Central Europe, including Croatia, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
4
Solution
The project includes three different pilot activities, which concern:
• nature reserves, historic villages and gardens located downstream and on the coast (including Po Delta - Italy, Dubrovnik River - Croatia).
• nature reserves, historic buildings and archaeological sites located near lakes (Lake Neusiedl - Austria, City of Fonyód - Hungary).
• historic complexes, parks and gardens in the upper reaches of rivers (Wiesent and Rednitz Valley - Germany, Jelenia Góra Valley - Poland, Kosice Region - Slovakia, Vltava River Valley - Czech Republic).

Outputs
Joint integrated strategies for enhancing the resilience of CNH sites exposed to climate risks in CE river basin districts.
The joined strategy presents discussions with public authorities on the implementation of the EU Directive, and outlining strategies and risk management plans to strengthen the resilience of cultural and natural heritage in Central European river basin districts.
Type of output: Strategies and action plans
INACO procedures for ranking vulnerability and managing climate risks on CNH site
INACO solution consisting of detailed procedures for the use of three components:
1. Interactive tool for ranking vulnerability of CNH assets;
2. Web-based mobile application for the vulnerability self-assessment;
3. Risk mapping tool for CNH protection.
Type of output: Solutions
In development
Open access online course for risk managers
An open access online course designed to train risk managers in protecting cultural and natural heritage from climate-related threats. The course provides practical knowledge, tools, and methods to identify risks and plan effective prevention and adaptation measures.
Type of output: Solutions
In development
Protocols and procedures for Risk Management of CNH
A package of protocols and procedures will be developed based on the results of the live exercise. It will support risk managers in defining effective measures and solutions to protect cultural and natural heritage in different areas from climate change risks.
Type of output: Solutions
Transnational Risk management plan for safeguarding CNH sites exposed to climate risks in CE river basin Districts
The project partners will prepare a joint risk management plan offering practical recommendations for heritage managers and local authorities. It will support better decisions on how to protect historic buildings and sites in river basin areas from extreme weather linked to climate change.
Type of output: Strategies and action plans
