AdapteCCa is a Spanish platform for consultation and information exchange on climate change impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation. It aims to facilitate dialogue among various levels of government, the scientific community, planners, and public or private managers.
The case study Soluciones basadas en la Naturaleza en escuelas: una solución verde para adaptar los edificios al cambio climático en Solana de los Barros, Extremadura has been recently published on the platform’s website. It describes the development of the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN project at the Gabriela Mistral Primary School in Solana de los Barros, focused on the implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) such as green roofs, green façades, ventilation systems, and permeable pavements. The report outlines the main challenges, objectives, considered adaptation alternatives, and the solutions implemented. It also includes additional relevant information: the importance of the project in terms of climate change adaptation, the key stakeholders involved, success factors and identified limitations, as well as legal aspects and illustrative images of the interventions carried out.

The AdapteCCa Platform is a joint initiative of the Spanish Office for Climate Change (OECC) and the Fundación Biodiversidad, both part of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO).

With the After-LIFE Plan now underway and the pilot sites in Évora (Escola EB1 Da Horta Das Figueiras) and Porto (Escola Básica De 1.º CEB / JI Do Falcão) already implemented, the intention is to publish both of these additional case studies from the LIFE-myBUILDINGisGREEN project on AdapteCCa in the near future.
