The event, part of the European project DesirMED funded by the Horizon Europe program, brought together researchers, specialists, and representatives from various European regions to share experiences and Nature-Based Solutions.
A poster was presented on the Beiras and Serra da Estrela region, detailing climatic challenges and solutions developed through three pilot projects in Fundão: Fruit farming (cherry production adaptation), Forest ecosystems (biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of the Gardunha mountain range), and Agriculture and animal production (valorization of local organic resources and precision technologies).
Fundão's practical and innovative work was praised by participants, reinforcing the municipality's position as a territory for experimentation and innovation in climate adaptation.
Participation in this international meeting raised visibility for the collaborative efforts of the Municipality of Fundão, the Intermunicipal Community of Beiras and Serra da Estrela, the Polytechnic University of Castelo Branco, and CEDES, emphasizing the importance of cooperation for building more resilient territories.
