What adaptation strategies for the EU?
Paris, France
Join us for our next event in Paris on Tuesday, 30 September, at the Académie du Climat: What adaptation strategies for the European Union?
An event in partnership with Entreprises pour l’Environnement EpE
To accelerate and strengthen the implementation of EU adaptation policies, Climate Chance is presenting European institutions with a contribution from non-state actors to improve knowledge, strengthen territorial capacities and secure long-term funding. Actors must adopt “adaptation reflexes” to support policy development at all levels and in all sectors.
Climate Chance is organising an event, an opportunity for exchanges between institutions, network leaders and non-state actors on concrete proposals, as the European Commission revises its adaptation strategy and with COP30 in Belém just a few months away.
