The fifth edition of the VALORADA newsletter is now available. As the project enters its final six months, this issue provides an overview of recent achievements, ongoing activities and upcoming milestones as VALORADA moves towards its conclusion in May 2026. 

Over recent months, the VALORADA consortium has strengthened its outreach through participation in major international events and closer collaboration with MIP4ADAPT, in order to maximise the impact of the tools and methodologies developed throughout the project. 

This edition highlights key project milestones and reminders, presents outcomes from the final VALORADA Capacity Building workshops held during the European Week of Regions and Cities, and reflects on VALORADA’s participation in international events, including the Smart City Expo World Congress 2025. It also reports on the outcomes of the fifth VALORADA General Assembly, which focused on the project’s final steps, and introduces a newly published scientific article in Frontiers in Climate examining the integration of value systems and place-based characteristics in climate risk assessments. 

Looking ahead, the newsletter outlines upcoming activities, including the forthcoming publication of the first VALORADA policy brief, the organisation of a second exploitation workshop in early 2026, and preparations for the project’s final General Assembly and closing event in Brussels. The edition also features a spotlight on Climateurope2, one of the projects within VALORADA’s extended network.
