Project Funding

Adapting The Levels is part of an larger EU Climate Adaptation project called Co-Adapt. This involves 12 partners spanning 4 countries; UK, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. To make all of these as effective as possible the partner organisations are working across the international borders to share knowledge and experience.

The areas covered are all facing similar climate consequences of flooding and drought and are running local projects to adapt to the Climate Emergency.

Co-Adapt has received a total of €7 million from the Interreg 2 Seas funding programme - a European Territorial Cooperation Programme. The Programme is part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

Adapting The Levels is also funded by Somerset Rivers Authority. The SRA’s purpose is to give Somerset an extra level of flood protection and resilience, as set out in Somerset’s 20 Year Flood Action Plan. The SRA is a partnership. Only in Somerset do so many different bodies work so closely together to tackle flooding problems.
