National Adaptation Hubs

ongoing

AdaptationHubs is a Coordination and support action which clearly and directly answers all the aspects and requirements of the HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-02 call for proposals. It will directly result in the establishment and implementation of at least 27 National Multilevel Governance Adaptation Hubs (by developing new structures or supporting existing ones) and a robust grouping and twinning scheme which will facilitate national, cross-border and EU-wide exchanges and cooperations. Additionally, the involvement of associate countries and countries beyond the EU will be ensured through a dedicated outreach programme. To achieve all of this, we have already identified and recruited 27 national expert organisations (National experts) which are directly responsible for or are closely linked to their respective national adaptation governances. These national experts have in turn identified existing structures which can be utilised or built on to achieve the expected project results as well as key stakeholders which must be involved in the overall process. This set-up and preparatory work will enable the AdaptationHubs project to hit the ground running and immediately focus on the task at hand without expending valuable time and resources on scouting and set-up, thus ensuring efficiency, speed and quality.
