The consortium of the European project RESTORE4Cs, coordinated by Ana Lillebø, researcher at CESAM/DBIO, met on 6–7 November 2025 in Málaga (Spain) for its final General Assembly. During the meeting, partners from different countries presented the main scientific and technical advances achieved throughout the project, which assesses the role of coastal and wetland ecosystems in climate change mitigation, through ecological restoration and the enhancement of ecosystem services.
The project is approaching its conclusion, with the final event to be held on 8–9 December 2025 in Brussels (Belgium).
On 8 December, representatives of RESTORE4Cs will participate in the Water Resilience Forum, promoted by the European Commission (EC) — a meeting that brings together policymakers, the scientific community, industry, and civil society to define pathways towards a water-resilient European Union by 2050.
On 9 December, the closing session of the project will take place, with the participation of researchers, policymakers, and institutional representatives, dedicated to presenting the main results and discussing their implications for the sustainable management of coastal and marine ecosystems in Europe.
