It has been a busy year for RESIST, and as 2024 draws to a close, it’s time to take stock of the progress made and look ahead to what awaits us in 2025!
This last newsletter of 2024 offers up some of the highlights from the project’s second year, during which time consortium partners were able to meet in person on two occasions.
Back in June, partners gathered for a plenary meeting among the fjords in our northernmost region, Vesterålen, in Norway. In November, Vesterålen’s twinned region Extremadura hosted the consortium in the historic city of Plasencia in Spain.
Along the way, we’ve shared our progress through engaging articles and activities in our 12 participating regions and beyond.
We were even in the spotlight at COP29 – albeit online – with our third media session, which focused on advancing climate emergency reporting in European newsrooms, thanks to our collaboration with “We Don’t Have Time”.
Read on to discover our major milestones for 2024.
And here’s to more exciting work together in 2025!

Normandy Region Turns to Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Challenges

To prepare for the effects of climate change, the Normandy region initiated the creation of its own intergovernmental panel, the Normand IPCC, to synergise existing local scientific work.
A climate art project depicting sea level rise in the Norwegian town of Sortland would seem innocuous enough in a region vulnerable to climate change. However, the Sunken House Project triggered a backlash that took many by surprise.

Media Session on Nature-based Solutions for a Positive Economy
RESIST organised its second media briefing focusing on the economic aspect of NBS as a compelling angle to attract public and private funding for regional climate adaptation efforts. The session’s objective was to highlight the economic rationale for investing in NBS as a cost-effective and sustainable approach to climate adaptation.
Highlights From the 5th RESIST Consortium Meeting
From 26-28 November 2024, the 5th RESIST Consortium Meeting brought together partners from 12 European regions in the historic city of Plasencia, Spain. The event marked a significant milestone for the project aligning partners on the next steps in the RESIST Project’s mission.
