The project aims to challenge the wide issues tackled by resilience to climate change at urban level by promoting HEI staff’s and students’ interdisciplinary skills through the development of innovative educational approaches to planning. Furthermore, it aims to bring the challenge within the core of urban municipalities by directly and indirectly (through empowering HEIs curricula) training professionals and officers to shape resilient policies. It will be based on the interaction among different disciplines (spatial planning, environment, engineering, landscape, etc) and foster collaboration with research, policy making and professionals, in order to properly address the call for the integration of climate resilience within policies at different levels. By focussing on urban resilience, the project addresses one of the most urgent topics at EU as well at LA level. Most LA countries are dealing with climate risk management issues, but they currently lack - despite recent efforts - a holistic and wider approach to resilience. A common frame of action based on proper shared knowledge and inclusion of all resilience issues – from the risk management to the social resilience - is missing. International cooperation seems then the best-fit environment where to develop joint learning tools, go in depth on peculiar research topics and deliver support to policy makers.
