Abstract

The EU Ministers Responsible for Urban Matters, meeting held in Amsterdam in 2016, established the Pact of Amsterdam: Urban Agenda for the EU. The Pact of Amsterdam defines Climate Adaptation as one of the priority themes to be addressed by the Urban Agenda. The Climate Adaptation Partnership was set up in 2017 and represents a multilevel and cross-sectoral cooperation instrument for the priority theme Climate Adaptation. The Action Plan developed by Urban Agenda for the EU Climate Adaptation Partnership is the result of a participatory process involving key stakeholders from the EU institutions, national governments, regional and local authorities. Climate Adaptation Partnership members are coming from all EU macro-regions, ensuring broad geographic representation including cities representative of different city size. Among them the Potenza Municipality, played a key role of Action Plan of the Climate Adaptation Partnership. This paper investigates the action promoted by the Potenza Municipality as a preliminary work to prepare the New Urban Agenda (2021–2027) for the development of the town according to a climate responsive perspective.
