The Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change supports EU regions, cities, and local authorities in enhancing their resilience to climate change impacts.
As Europe faces growing climate risks including heatwaves, flooding, droughts, and wildfires, the Forum will present practical examples of successful, replicable and scalable adaptation measures being applied by regions and cities across Europe. It will delve into the innovative tools and approaches being developed through Mission projects for strengthening resilience.
In workshop sessions, participants will learn together and co-create solutions to specific challenges affecting their regions and communities. The Forum will offer rich opportunities for networking and collaboration, bringing together stakeholders from across sectors and governance levels to share knowledge and build partnerships.
The 2026 Mission Forum is co-organised by the European Commission and the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
