Social inclusion, and environmental and climate risks are two concepts that are usually seen as separate. However, we must understand the need to establish clear links between the fight against climate change and the defence of the most vulnerable people. Without this innovative vision, we will not be able to create a truly socially and environmentally just and resilient Atlantic Area.

Recent climate events force us to move towards environmental planning that takes into account the most vulnerable people, both for their protection and their empowerment. In this project, it pursues this dual purpose. On the one hand, it creates innovative mechanisms to support vulnerable people in case of extreme environmental risks such as floods, fires or droughts. Nonetheless, it creates methodologies to make this group a key actor in the fight against climate change and its consequences, demonstrating that pilots of maximum environmental effectiveness can be carried out through social inclusion.
