The selected regions reflect Europe’s climate diversity, ranging from water-scarce landscapes to areas experiencing more frequent flooding. These regions will join the project to help shape how Europe manages water, land, and climate risks. SpongeWorks will provide tailored support to develop and implement sponge measures — nature-based solutions (NbS) that help retain water, reduce flood and drought risks, and restore ecosystems.
Learn more about sponge measures and the eight Associated Regions on the SpongeWorks webpage.
