Reducing temperature at meso or micro scale

Raulhac orchads - Harnessing agroforestal techniques for sustainable ecosystem management in Auvergne

For adapting to climate change : creating microclimates and boosting the resistance of crops to increasingly frequent droughts in the Corrèze, and introducing nitrogen-fixing tree species.
For biodiversity : creating ecological continuities between natural areas of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest (ZNIEFF) and improving the general condition of the soil.
For the local area : integrating these developments into local supply chains (fruit production, heating, firewood, use in livestock farming, etc.)

Soeurs du Maine - Making use of agroecological practices for better water and soil management in the French countryside

For adapting to climate change : preventing soil erosion and securing water resources.
For biodiversity : encouraging functional and heritage biodiversity and creating habitats conducive to the development of beneficial organisms.
For the local area : improve the landscape and living environment and diversify sources of income for the farm.

GAEC les rocs - Employing agroecology in Vandée

GAEC Les Rocs, 2022 (c) Communauté de Communes de Pouzauges

For adapting to climate change : conserve the quantity and quality of the water downstream of catchment areas and consolidate the resistance of forest habitats to the effects of climate change.
For biodiversity : conserve the biological richness of the soil and reduce the pressure of forestry on the soil.
For the local area : enhance the bocage landscape, integrate the project in the Territory Committed to Nature (TEN) process and strengthen the resistance of the grazing systems.

GAEC Lait'spérance - Implementing agroecological practices to adapt farming to climate change in Brittany

For adapting to climate change : limiting drought and soil erosion.

Farm "du Temple" - Combining sustainable livestock farming and ecological corridors in Normandy

Ferme du Temple Farm (c) Alois Clinton, CDC Biodiversité

For adapting to climate change : mitigating the effects of climate change, creating microclimates and stabilising forage yields.
For biodiversity : creating ecological continuity between the various areas of high ecological interest and developing a fodder system favourable to biodiversity.
For the local area : creating developments using a landscape approach, which is a symbolic, heritage issue in the area, and integrating them into local supply chains.

Cœur Vert des Tartres - Creating a Urban Cool Island in the outskirts of Paris

For adapting to climate change : creating an urban cool island and improving the management of rainwater on the site.
For biodiversity : strengthening the urban green network and maintaining ecological continuities.
For the local area : opening up a new natural area for residents

Beau Soleil des Landes Farm - Regenerating former vineyards through agroforestry practices in Maisdon-sur-Sévre

Beau Soleil des Landes Farm (C) Valentine Norève, CDC Biodiversité

For adapting to climate change : mitigate the effects of climate change through the creation of microclimates, improve the infiltration of rainwater and control runoff.
For biodiversity : create conditions favouring the return of biodiversity and a refuge for local species.
For the local area : integrate these developments in local added-value economic activities

Ökológiai szemléletű zöldfelület-fenntartás a fővárosi Pünkösdfürdő Parkban

A fővárosi zöldinfrastruktúra fejlesztését és fenntartását meghatározó Radó Dezső Terv kiemelt prioritása a klímaadaptáció erősítése és a biodiverzitás növelése, mindezt a Fővárosi Önkormányzat a lakossággal szoros partnerségben kívánja elérni. A biológiai sokféleséget, a klímaadaptációt és a környezeti nevelést egyaránt támogató, magyarországi mércével mindenképpen mérföldkőnek számító, de európai viszonylatban is innovatív megoldásai miatt magas szakmai elismerésben részesült Pünkösdfürdő Park tájépítészeti üzenete és célja az, hogy a hagyományos agrár tájhasználatot becsempéssze a...

H2020 PONDERFUL: Schöneiche Demo Site

Water management: Retain water in the pondscape to prevent dry-out of ponds

Human health: A refreshing place to walk and relax, and to educate people about nature.

Biodiversity enhancement: Especially amphibians, insects, birds, and (semi)aquatic vegetation.

H2020 PONDERFUL: The "Bois de Jussy" NBS - a pondscape for biodiversity and people

The reintroduction of the threatened European pond turtle was successful and the population is now reproducing in this pondscape.

Bois de Jussy is managed to maximise the biodiversity, and to welcome the public for walks, jogging and biking to relax, cool off, reconnect with nature by observing ponds.
