Community Pilot for Climate Resilience & Emergency Preparedness in Disability Care

Organisation profile

Kentro AMEA Agios Lazaros is a non-profit care centre in Cyprus supporting adults with intellectual disabilities through day services, vocational activities and supported living.

What we offer

We provide a real-life community care setting that can act as a pilot site for climate adaptation and disaster risk management measures in care facilities. Our focus is on vulnerable adults and continuity of care during extreme events such as heatwaves, extreme weather, power outages and service disruptions.

Proposed role in EU Missions projects

• Community pilot / demonstration site

• Testing and validation of emergency preparedness and continuity plans

• Input on staff training, organisational readiness and protection of vulnerable groups

• User-centred feedback and real-world implementation at local level

What we seek

We are looking to join consortia under the Horizon Europe Missions on Adaptation to Climate Change, particularly topics related to multi-level governance, actionable adaptation solutions and bridging disaster risk management with climate adaptation. We aim to contribute as a practice-based partner rather than a technical or research coordinator.
