The project Life IRIS aims at supporting SMEs in becoming more resilient to climate change, by mean of adaptation measures. Identification and implementation of measures will be carried out through a cluster approach, where cluster means:

• group of business located in a same productive area

• group of business related one another through the same supply chain (beer supply chain).

The main objectives of the project are:

 • Improve the resilience of industry sector

• Contribute to the development of a climate-resilient, low carbon, resources efficient economy

• Foster the diffusion of financial tools aimed at rewarding resilient enterprises or enterprises belonging to resilient industrial clusters

• Promote adaptation actions in the industry sector based on an ecosystem approach, also developing green infrastructures and payments for ecosystem services (PES), if appropriate

• Strengthen synergies among adaptation measures and other environmental issues (floods and droughts, water scarcity, biodiversity conservation, air quality and resource efficiency).
