In the seminar Adaptation to Climate Change: Society, Education and Lifestyles of the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNACC), organized in 2019 by the Spanish Office for Climate Change and CENEAM, the need for an “enveloping” communicative effort was proposed that would contribute to generating a collective idea about a resilient lifestyle and for which prior work would be necessary to identify good practices.

This project aims to contribute to the identification of these good practices by taking advantage of the BioCultura fair, a meeting place for people and companies with a long history in the change of model.

The general objective of this project is to identify and promote resilient lifestyles adapted to climate change in Spain.

To this end, it has the following specific goals:

• Define and identify resilient and climate change-adapted lifestyles in the existing literature.
• Identify concrete practices directly with citizens, companies and organizations.
• Promote resilient practices through a best practices manual.

• Bibliographic review of articles published in Spain and countries with similar lifestyles.
• Identify entities and individuals who are experts in each of the areas that define a resilient lifestyle and consult them on the different areas related to a resilient lifestyle.
• Surveys of visitors and exhibiting companies at the BioCultura fair and identification of exemplary case studies.
• Organization of workshops at BioCultura to identify best practices and exemplary case studies.
• Questionnaire disseminated on the Vida Sana Association website and its networks to increase perspectives and examples of resilient lifestyles from concrete experiences of civil society and organizations and identification of exemplary case studies.
• Publication of a manual of good practices for a resilient lifestyle adapted to climate change.
• Dissemination and communication of the project.

• Participatory research has been carried out that has combined bibliographic review, consultations with specialists, surveys, workshops and interviews, generating practical and accessible knowledge for citizens and public administrations.
• A conceptual framework on climate resilience in lifestyles has been developed, validated by 12 specialists from different fields. Based on this theoretical work, 489 resilient practices were identified, systematized and grouped by areas such as food, mobility, housing, water, consumption, leisure, care, finance, and community participation. 26 testimonies were also collected from inspiring people illustrating how resilience adapts to diverse contexts.
• A Manual of Good Practices for a Resilient Lifestyle Adapted to Climate Change has been drafted. This manual has been sent to more than 600 project participants, competent authorities and civil entities linked to the subject.
• The project reflects that the active participation of citizens, the systematisation of real experiences and the dissemination of good practices constitute a solid basis for moving towards a more prepared, aware and resilient society.
