Rise In

RISE-IN pioneers a new approach to climate adaptation by bridging the gap between environmental resilience and financial viability. Focusing on nature-based solutions (NBS) for flood risk management, the project introduces the concept of Bankability Readiness Level (BRL) – a novel metric to assess, enhance and unlock investment potential of climate-resilient solutions. Through a unique blend of climate risk assessment, stakeholder co-creation, and social innovation, RISE-IN transforms cities into living labs for sustainable, scalable, and financially attractive interventions. Demonstrated across diverse contexts in Italy, Portugal, and New Zealand, and replicated in cities across Europe and beyond, RISE-IN not only mitigates climate risks – it redefines how we invest in our future.
