Adaptation Solutions for Regional Climate Resilience

ongoing

The need: Despite their climate action, mission signatories still face major challenges in climate adaptation planning and implementation. Among specific needs to address the challenges and facilitate adaptation actions, the largest single need identified by 72% of the signatories was ‘knowledge’, replicated across most countries, geographical locations and types of regions. Strengths of the consortium: The REGILIENCE+ Consortium has demonstrated over the past 3 years its capacity to work together in providing coordination and support to climate adaptation Innovation Actions, as well as contributed significantly to the development of the Climate Adaptation Mission, the Mission Portal (e.g., inspiring and contributing to the tools database and the funding database). Expected outputs: Improved knowledge via 150 solutions in the form of case studies, adaptation options and tools included in online inventories (preferably Climate-ADAPT) and 70 multilingual communication products, services, and activities. Envisaged outcomes: Inclusion of inventory updates in mainstream climate adaptation knowledge platforms, and Use of communication products, services, and activities by MIP4Adapt, National organisations and initiatives (including National Adaptation Hubs), Regional and Local authorities, and other entities addressing climate adaptation. Established procedures for the inclusion of inventory updates are in place and used beyond the timeline of REGILIENCE+. Aimed impacts: Smarter, swifter and more systemic adaptation in European regions and local communities, due to improved access to and replication of available and actionable solutions.
