Floods, Facts and Wetlands - How Spongelandscapes help to tackle the Climate Crisis

Europe’s landscapes have faced extreme weather, from heatwaves and droughts to heavy rains, severely damaging ecosystems and society. To combat these challenges, the SpongeBoost project was launched. It brings together a team of 10 partners from 7 European countries, spanning research, policy, and management fields. SpongeBoost focuses on enhancing landscapes’ natural sponge-like characteristics to manage water flow and storage. This involves refining existing methods, implementing them on a larger scale, and exploring innovative solutions. The project aims to strengthen landscapes’ resilience against climate-related extremes through natural water retention.
