Meeting Sessions: Project Progress & Technical Collaboration
The first day of the meeting focused on consortium discussions, presenting the project progress, the status of deliverables, and financial implementation.
Key topics included:
- progress of work packages
- pilot activities implemented in partner cities
- data collection and monitoring processes
- technical challenges and proposed solutions
- synergies between pilot sites
In addition, discussions addressed communication and dissemination activities, policy uptake, and the sustainability of project results beyond the project’s lifetime.
The day concluded with a networking event, fostering stronger collaboration among partners.
Thematic Sessions: From Data to Decision-Making
The second day opened with presentations on the MoreAdaptBSB project and the remote sensing-based methodology for assessing the resilience and vulnerability of coastal and urban areas.
A central highlight was the knowledge exchange session titled:
“From Model to Policy: Integrating remote monitoring methods and Nature-Based Solutions into strategic planning at local and regional levels.”
This was followed by practical examples from municipalities, showcasing:
- development of strategic planning documents
- integration of climate considerations into decision-making
Particular interest was drawn to the interactive discussion:
“From Data to Decision-Making”, which explored how remote sensing tools and climate data can better support local and regional governance.
The day concluded with a brainstorming session focused on Nature-Based Solutions for restoring urban and coastal green spaces and enhancing climate resilience.

About the Project
🟢 The project “Less vulnerability, more adaptability – pilot remote sensing assisted restoration of green spaces in coastal and urban areas within the Black Sea region” (MoreAdaptBSB – BSB00479) is co-funded by the Interreg VI-B NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme.
Its objective is to promote Nature-Based Solutions, remote sensing tools, and knowledge exchange for environmental restoration in the Black Sea region, with pilot actions implemented in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Ukraine, and Moldova.
The project has a duration of 30 months, running from 26 July 2024 to 25 January 2027, with a total budget of €1,594,728. Of this amount, €1,435,255.20 is funded by the European Union through the Interreg NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme.
