Vilamarxant prepara el primer evento del Proyecto CILIFO en el marco de la Semana Verde Europea

17.09.2020. La Semana Verde Europea (#EUGreenWeek), organizada por la Comisión Europea, se centrará este año en la naturaleza y la biodiversidad. El Ayuntamiento de Vilamarxant (Valencia) está preparando un evento deslocalizado para formar parte de una semana que actuará como un hito en el camino hacia la Conferencia de las Partes (COP 15) del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica.

La Comisión Europea decidió que la conferencia de la Semana Verde de la UE tendrá lugar este año en otoño, del 20 al 22 de octubre, con eventos asociados que se celebrarán entre el 14 de septiembre y el 23 de octubre.

El viernes 25 de septiembre, el municipio de Vilamarxant acogerá el primer evento asociado del Centro Ibérico para la Investigación y Lucha contra Incendios Forestales (CILIFO) – tiene previstas actividades en Sevilla, Cádiz y Córdoba – en el marco de la Semana Verde Europea, siendo -hasta la fecha- el único territorio valenciano que estará presente en la #EUGreenWeek.

La Fundación Finnova forma parte del partenariado público-privado que conforma el Proyecto CILIFO, financiado en un 75% por el Programa de Cooperación Transfronteriza Interreg VA España – Portugal – POCTEP (2014-2020), y será la entidad encargada de acercar dos territorios a priori alejados, pero que tienen muchos retos en común. CILIFO actúa para reforzar y aunar la cooperación, los procedimientos de trabajo y la formación entre los dispositivos de Prevención y Extinción de Incendios Forestales en el área de cooperación de la Eurorregión Alentejo – Algarve – Andalucía y está liderado por la Junta de Andalucía.

El evento planteado para el 25 de septiembre en Vilamarxant trata de un seminario sobre la financiación de la Unión Europea para proyectos innovadores de lucha contra los incendios forestales y protección de la biodiversidad. Además, Vilamarxant se presentará como una antena del CILIFO y de la aceleradora del proyecto, Firefighting Open Innovation Lab-CILIFO. A la jornada (presencial / virtual) asistirán representantes europeos – europarlamentarios y/o funcionarios de la Comisión Europea -, el Concejal de Innovación del ayuntamiento de Vilamarxant, Xavier Jorge Cerdá, emprendedores, start-ups y portavoces de organizaciones como la Generalitat o la Diputación de Valencia.

Ser parte de la Semana Verde de la Unión Europea es una oportunidad para que el Vilamarxant pueda mostrar las iniciativas y logros en su territorio a nivel de prevención y extinción frente posibles emergencias o incendios. Vilamarxant es un municipio muy activo y que trabaja intensamente desde hace unos 15 años en el tema de prevención de incendios, a través de su plan de prevención y emergencias y de su gestión del Paraje Natural Municipal de Les Rodanes o del Parque Natural del Turia. Este plan fue entregado hace 3 años en la Consejería de Medio Ambiente de la Comunidad Valenciana y se está a espera de su aprobación por parte de la administración autonómica: “Esto nos ha impedido acceder a la subvención de gestión forestal del municipio, valorada en uno 75.000 €, cantidad que va subiendo conforme pasa el tiempo”, según afirma el concejal de Innovación y Nuevas Tecnologías. Xavier Jorge Cerdá dice además que desde Vilamarxant “estamos buscando alternativas innovadoras que nos permita acceder a fondos económicos, herramientas o experiencias que puedan suplir la falta de la aprobación del Plan de Emergencias de Vilamarxant”.  El concejal explica que su función se basa en “continuar trabajando y buscar alternativas, como las que estamos emprendiendo dentro del Proyecto CILIFO, que nos permitan realizar la mejor gestión de nuestros parajes dentro de los recursos de los que un pequeño municipio puede disponer. El retraso en la aprobación de dicho plan está estrangulando a nuestro ayuntamiento y está impidiendo realizar las tareas de mantenimiento adecuadas que eviten una posible emergencia o incendio”.

RETOS EN COMÚN – OBJETIVOS DE DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE (ODS)

El objetivo es afrontar el reto 13 y 15 de los ODS de Naciones Unidas para innovar en la adopción de medidas urgentes para combatir el cambio climático y sus efectos, así como proteger, restablecer y promover el uso sostenible de los ecosistemas terrestres, gestionar sosteniblemente los bosques, luchar contra la desertificación, detener e invertir la degradación de las tierras y detener la pérdida de biodiversidad.

SOBRE LA SEMANA VEREDE EUROPEA (#EUGREENWEEK)

La Semana Verde Europea 2020 está programada sobre el tema de la naturaleza y la biodiversidad. Después de la adopción de una nueva Estrategia de Biodiversidad de la UE para mayo de 2030, la Semana Verde destacará la contribución que la biodiversidad puede hacer a la sociedad y la economía y el papel que puede desempeñar para apoyar y estimular la recuperación en un mundo post-pandémico, generando empleos y crecimiento sostenible. La Semana Verde de la UE examinará cómo las políticas de la UE, como el Acuerdo Verde Europeo, pueden ayudar a proteger y restaurar la naturaleza, dejando espacio para recuperarse y prosperar.

La #EUGreenWeek también actuará como un hito en el camino hacia la Conferencia de las Partes (COP 15) del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica, ahora planificada para 2021, donde los líderes mundiales adoptarán un plan de acción de 10 años para la biodiversidad: un Nuevo acuerdo global para las personas y la naturaleza.

EL PROYECTO CILIFO

El proyecto “Centro Ibérico para la Investigación y Lucha contra Incendios Forestales” (CILIFO) se centra en la lucha contra los incendios forestales y sus consecuencias para la adaptación y mitigación del cambio climático; en un marco de cooperación transfronteriza para la prevención de riesgos y la mejora de la gestión de los recursos naturales de España y Portugal en la zona de la Eurorregión Alentejo – Algarve – Andalucía. CILIFO se enmarca en el Objetivo Temático 5 del Programa POCTEP: Promover la adaptación al cambio climático en todos los sectores; y responde a la prioridad de inversión, respecto al Programa POCTEP, 5B: Fomento de la inversión para abordar los riesgos específicos y la garantía de adaptación frente a las catástrofes y desarrollo de sistemas de gestión de catástrofes.

LIFE grants for innovative projects in adaptation to Climate Change

23.02.2020. The Environment and Climate Action Programme (LIFE) is the European Union’s financial instrument dedicated to the environment for the period 2014-2020. Its overall objective is to contribute to sustainable development and the achievement of the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy and the EU’s environment and climate strategies. One of the sub-programmes of LIFE is Climate Action, which represents 25% of the total funding.

The European Union (EU) co-finances up to 55% of projects in the priority area of Adaptation to Climate Change (within the Climate Action sub-programme)especially projects related to resistance to water scarcity, droughts, forest fires or floods, adaptation technologies for economic sectors and the safeguarding of natural resources. The programme provides action grants for best practices, pilot, and demonstration projects that contribute to building resilience to climate change. In particular, the European Commission seeks technologies and solutions that are ready to be applied in proximity to the market, on an industrial or commercial scale, for the duration of the project. In addition, the Climate Action Sub-Programme promotes the development and implementation of EU policy on climate change adaptation, best practices, and solutions for climate change adaptation, including ecosystem approaches and knowledge sharing.

Under the LIFE Programme and the 2020 call, there are interesting opportunities to give continuity to several actions of the Iberian Centre for Research and Fight against Forest Fires (CILIFO). The project could obtain alternative sources of funding for some lines of study, research and dissemination that are being carried out by the different Working Groups of the project. Furthermore, a proposal promoted by CILIFO within the framework of the LIFE Programme could exploit the good practices of CILIFO and the results obtained by the CILIFO Working Groups.

The CILIFO project, which is a European project focused on the prevention and extinction of forest fires, as well as on the adaptation and mitigation of climate change, is led by the Andalusian Regional Government (Spain). CILIFO has the first accelerator/incubator specialized in the prevention and extinction of forest fires and co-founded by an Interreg programme in Europe, «Firefighting Open Innovation Lab – CILIFO», which can contribute with innovative solutions. This Open Innovation Lab welcomes entities (entrepreneurs, spin-offs, start-ups, SMEs…) working in the field of climate change adaptation and mitigation, including forest fire prevention and extinction.

Target: the programme is aimed at consortia between public and private organisations at local level, councils, town halls, universities, public or private companies (including SMEs) and associations. Startups and entrepreneurs can also apply for the aid, as innovation in low-cost technologies for easy application in different areas is particularly encouraged.
Procedure: The Climate Action Sub-Programme follows a one-step application procedure, which means that you are asked to submit complete project proposals from the beginning.
Call for concept notes for traditional climate change mitigation projects closes on 6 October 2020.

Project example: Drone-Hopper (intelligent fire fighting systems)

DRONE-HOPPER works on the design and manufacture of high load capacity drones for fire fighting and precision agriculture. With a load of 300 litres of water and ecological retardant, these drones can create a firebreak of up to 600 metres. The company has already won the 1st edition of the CILIFO Firefighting Start-up Europe Awards, held on 12.12.2019, as part of the COP25 in Madrid. Likewise, this technology has been presented in a project and approved by the European Commission within the framework of the SME Instrument – Horizon 2020, phase 1 and 2.

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic: Due to the COVID-19 health crisis, projects dedicated to the management of the COVID-19 pandemic have taken on special relevance for the European Commission, encouraging research into systems of contagion and control of pandemics. It is not only researching new drugs or vaccines that may be of special interest in the fight against the coronavirus but also looking for projects that have unique viability in this field so important at present.

EU applicants are encouraged to reflect on what elements of their project can help prevent, mitigate, manage the current crisis or recover from a similar health crisis in the future. The aim is that any project that has some element, however small, that can collaborate or add to a much larger and more coordinated response in the fight against the pandemic, can be investigated from a health approach in order to readapt it and turn it into a response that, coming from different projects, can become a solution greater than the sum of its parts.

Finnova and Universidade de Évora present CILIFO-CONECTA as a proposal for Empleaverde 2020 within the call by Fundación Biodiversidad

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

06.03.2020. CILIFO-CONECTA was presented on Thursday 17th February 2020 as a proposal to consolidate and improve the entrepreneur ecosystem’s skills in Andalusia, Valencia and Castilla y León

Among CILIFO’s sustainability activities, Finnova Foundation and the rest of the beneficiaries are making efforts to look for alternative ways for funding.

In fact, CILIFO applied for the CONECTA call from the Empleaverde 2020 programme (Fundación Biodiversidad) through Finnova, thanks to the support of other beneficiaries from CILIFO, like Universidad de Évora.

The aim of CILIFO-CONECTA is to consolidate and improve the entrepreneur ecosystem’s skills in Andalusia, Valencia and Castilla y León through training in the field of green entrepreneurship, by exchanging good practices and connecting with the European entrepreneur ecosystem. This connection will take in Belgium, Portugal and Italy, where Spanish entrepreneurs will be put in contact with European institutions and Belgian and European entrepreneurs. Within these three European countries is important to underline Portugal’s role, as one of its universities, Universidade de Évora, will be one of the project’s partners. The project will have a transversal environmental approach, that will boost and consolidate processes, products, and services in the domain of adapting and fighting against climate change, specially focusing on the fight against forest fires.

This call is focused on projects that improve entrepreneur’s skills that live in Spain through mutual learning with other stakeholders that are part of the European entrepreneur ecosystem. The fund aims to boost sustainability of economic activities in every sector, moving towards a lower carbon and circular economy. This should be done by including biodiversity in the administration and processes of enterprises and by making use of natural resources in a more efficient way.
