Mission Adaptation to Climate Change
The EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change empowers European regions and local authorities to achieve climate resilience, aiming to guide at least 150 communities through understanding climate risks, developing pathways for preparation, and implementing innovative solutions by 2030. The Mission contributes to delivery of the EU Adaptation Strategy by helping the regions and local authorities to:
- Better understand the climate risks that they are and will be confronted with in the future
- Develop their pathways to be better prepared and cope with the changing climate
- Test and deploy on the ground innovative solutions needed to build resilience to climate change.
Climate-ADAPT Portal
Climate-ADAPT—the European Climate Adaptation Platform—is a onestop, multilingual knowledge hub (launched in 2012 by the EU Commission and EEA) that helps policymakers, planners, and practitioners across Europe understand and address climate change adaptation. It is a living platform maintained by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Commission. It offers:
- Interactive climate data (via the Copernicus Climate Change Service).
- Sectoral guidance for agriculture, health, water, transport, urban planning, biodiversity, disaster risk, energy, cultural heritage, and more .
- Adaptation Support Tools: structured step-by-step help for assessing risks, identifying solutions, planning and monitoring
