GOOD PRACTICES: STARTING THE COLLECTION

In this database, you will find a selection of examples that may be interesting to you to study in relation to examples of how organisations, communities, professionals or citizens deal with heat and heat-related health challenges.

What is meant by “Good practice”

A good practice is not only a practice that is good, but a practice that has been proven to work well and produce good results, and is therefore recommended as a model. It is a successful experience, which has been tested and validated, in the broad sense, which has been repeated and deserves to be shared so that a greater number of people can adopt it. Or ‘Good practices’ can be defined in multiple ways. However, a thread common to most definitions implies strategies, approaches and/or activities that have been shown through research and evaluation to be effective, efficient, sustainable and/or transferable, and to reliably lead to a desired result. (European Commission)

The Criteria:

• Effective and successful;
• Environmentally, economically and socially sustainable;
• Gender-sensitive;
• Technically feasible;
• Inherently participatory;
• Replicable and adaptable;
• Reducing disaster/crisis risks, if applicable.
