Landscape resilience knowledge alliance
for agriculture and forestry in the Mediterranean basin
Engaging with farmers and foresters to share knowledge and increase landscape resilience in the Mediterranean
As the effects of climate change intensify, our landscapes and environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable. Strengthening landscape resilience and understanding how it can help mitigate climate change impacts is therefore essential.
The ResAlliance project, which ran from 2022 to 2025, focused on these challenges. Although the project is now officially closed, this website remains publicly available; however, it will no longer receive regular updates.
Factsheets
Browse a multilingual collection of 120 practices and case studies on landscape resilience in the Mediterranean relating to agriculture, forestry, and agroforestry. These are presented as two- or four-page factsheets and are classified by economic sector, type of solution, climate hazard and targeted implementing actors. Available in English, French, Spanish, Greek, Italian and Portuguese.
Publications
Produced through the joint efforts of ResAlliance partners and practitioners, these publications represent core outcomes of the project and contribute to advancing landscape resilience across the Mediterranean.
Landscape resilience in the Mediterranean – Translating solutions into policy and practice
Date: 18 November 2025 – Version: 1.0
This policy brief presents key insights from the ResAlliance project on strengthening landscape resilience in the Mediterranean. It highlights shared challenges, showcases practical solutions, and outlines priority actions for policymakers. By distilling lessons from regional collaboration and field experience, the brief supports coherent strategies and informed decision-making across the Mediterranean basin.
Landscape resilience blueprint for the wider Mediterranean region
Date: 22 October 2025 – Version: 1.0
The Landscape Resilience Blueprint for the Mediterranean Region, developed under the EU-funded ResAlliance project, outlines a strategic framework to bolster the adaptive capacity of agriculture and forestry systems facing escalating climate threats such as droughts, wild fires, and biodiversity loss.
White paper on policy recommendations for landscape resilience in the Mediterranean region
Date: 10 October 2025 – Version: 1.0
The ResAlliance White Paper outlines coordinated strategies to strengthen Mediterranean landscape resilience by integrating environmental, agricultural, and social dimensions. Drawing on over 140 land management practices, it offers adaptive policy recommendations to support sustainable, climate-resilient development across the region.
LandNet roadmap
Date: July 2024 – Version: 1.0
This report explains in detail the methodological approach for the creation of the LandNet and the LandLabs, along with the major milestones to be reached by both throughout the Resalliance project’s duration.
7th european agroforestry conference: resalliance poster
Date: June 2024 – Version: 1.0
Here you can find the ResAlliance poster submitted to the 7th European Agroforestry Conference held in Brno, from 27 to 31 May 2024. The poster highliths the major features and context of the ResAlliance project.
Resilience thinking: a brief overview
Date: May 2024 – Version: 1.0
Enhancing landscape resilience addresses a ‘triple challenge’: sustaining a growing global human population, combating climate change, and reversing biodiversity loss. Landscape resilience refers to a landscape’s ability to persist, adapt, and maintain its essential structure, functions, and identity. Landscapes are complex social-ecological systems where humans and nature interact closely. This infobrief offers a concise overview of key concepts in resilience theory
Report on needs, barriers, gaps and solutions for landscape resilience implementation in the forest and agriculture sectors
Date: April 2024 – Version: D2.3
The ResAlliance project aims to provide foresters and farmers with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement innovative landscape resilience solutions. As described by the project, landscape resilience is defined as the ability of a landscape to sustain its range of natural and human-related functions and processes over time under changing conditions, despite multiple stressors and uncertainties. For this, the project gathers and assess knowledge, gaps, barriers, and good practices to achieve.
LandLab standardised manual, programme and templates
Date: September 2023 – Version: V2
This manual provides implementation guidelines for the LandLab (LL) activities throughout the ResAlliance project. It standardises the procedures for Resilience Ambassadors (RAs) in planning activities, collecting results, and adapting methods to their regional contexts. The flexible approach and accompanying templates support consistent information sharing and promote best practices within and beyond the project.

LandNet
ResAlliance was a project that aimed to increase knowledge flow, skills, and innovation in landscape resilience. With a specific focus on Mediterranean countries, it engaged farmers, foresters, and other stakeholders to support the application of innovative landscape-resilience approaches to address climate change and mitigate its effects. How? ResAlliance developed multi-stakeholder interactive initiatives at two levels: the LandNet and the LandLabs. Although all activities are now completed, you can still access the project materials and forum.
Developed as part of the ResAlliance Project, this free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) brings you the latest knowledge on how climate hazards (wildfires, droughts, desertification, floods and pests) are impacting the Mediterranean region.
It explores cutting-edge solutions for the agriculture and forestry sectors in four thematic areas: technology, finance, management and governance. With lessons delivered by experts from Europe’s leading institutions and real-world case studies from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece,Tunisia and Cyprus, this course is your opportunity to deepen your understanding and take action for a more resilient future.
Explore the forefront of sustainable practices with ResAlliance! If you’re a trailblazer addressing climate change in the Mediterranean, share your innovative story through captivating videos (up to 3 minutes) or compelling written narratives (up to 4 pages).
Feature your work on LandNet and gain exposure throughout the ResAlliance project. The best contributions will be celebrated at the Closing Conference in November 2025, earning a Recognition Certificate and Gift and extensive promotion across our channels. Seize the opportunity to be a catalyst for change in agriculture and forestry—submit your groundbreaking practice now on our website!
