How can Local Intermediate Authorities (LIA) better prepare and plan for social and natural risks faced by their territories? How can they cope with multiple overlaying risks, and which response mechanisms do they have at their disposal? In the new ESPON ResiLIAnce project, ÖIR in a consortium led by Technopolis Group will support the European Confederation of Local Intermediate Authorities (CEPLI) and the participating stakeholders in answering these questions.
