The ACTWELL project examines how climate adaptation measures in Austria affect people’s well-being. It aims to identify strategies that both reduce risks from heat, floods and other climate impacts and improve the quality of life of different social groups. Together with regions and cities, measures are assessed and modelled to understand their effects across generations. On this basis, ACTWELL develops practical guidance for policymakers and public authorities to design climate adaptation that is resilient, socially just and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
