On 11 September 2026, a co-design workshop was held in Cesena, Italy, as part of the RISE-IN project, bringing together local stakeholders to exchange perspectives on climate resilience and explore solutions to the challenges posed by climate change.
The workshop was promoted by the Municipality of Cesena (Comune di Cesena), in collaboration with Ambiente Italia S.r.l. and the Forum per la Finanza Sostenibile (ItaSIF).
The co-design workshop for the Demo city of Cesena successfully involved around 20 stakeholders from institutions, public bodies, businesses and local organisations. The goal of the workshop was to discuss possible Climate Resilient Solutions for Cesena, collect ideas and suggestions and then validate them throughout an open discussion. The structure of the meeting was divided into two main parts: the first one was devoted to presenting the project and its main themes. Here, graphs and models relating to the Cesena area were presented, developed by the RISE-IN partners on the basis of data collected and made available. The second part focused on the participants, who were invited to share ideas, proposals and points of view. The discussion enabled a range of suggestions to be gathered, which were subsequently discussed and evaluated together.
