The Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change supports EU regions, cities, and local authorities in enhancing their resilience to the impacts of climate change.
As climate impacts intensify across Europe, the Forum will spotlight practical and replicable adaptation solutions that are making a difference on the ground. Participants will explore innovative tools being developed through Mission Projects to boost climate resilience, collaborate to co-design solutions tailored to their communities, and take advantage of rich networking opportunities to build partnerships across sectors and governance levels.
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.
