The Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change focuses on supporting EU regions, cities and local authorities in their efforts to build resilience against the impacts of climate change. The Mission aims to accompany at least 150 European regions and communities towards climate resilience by 2030.

It will help regions and local authorities to understand better 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; and test and deploy on the ground innovative solutions needed to build resilience to climate change.
