Building resilient communities

The Regions4Climate project aims to collaboratively develop and demonstrate a socially-just transition to climate resilience. Based on cross-sectoral roadmaps developed together with regional stakeholders, the project will create and implement innovations combining sociocultural, technological, digital, business, governance, and environmental solutions to reduce the vulnerability of European regions to the impacts of climate change.

The Regions4Climate project will plan and implement real climate resilient innovations that will be created by and for people in response to the EU mission Adaptation to Climate Change.

Due to climate change, our livelihoods, well-being and environment are threatened. A transition towards resilience has become urgent and mandatory. This need requires that we simultaneously address social inequalities and implement cross-sectoral innovations to build social, economic and environmental resilience to extreme events.

What is the EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change?


The EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change is one of the five EU missions launched in September 2021 by the European Commission, helping to deliver the European Green Deal. This mission supports around 150 regions and communities in Europe towards reaching climate resilience by 2030.

Our Objectives

Develop a comprehensive operational framework.

Why?

To guide and support a wide range of local and regional stakeholders to co-create, test, optimise and replicate scalable, cost-effective, locally-attuned, multi-sectoral and cross-border solutions for enhanced regional resilience to the impacts of climate change.

Scale up and deploy innovative socio-technological climate resilience solutions.

How?

Through collaboration and “twinning” between front-runner and less experienced regions vulnerable to similar climate risks and impacts.

Generate and validate suitable solutions for just societal transformation and building climate resilience at the regional and local level.

How?

Through tailor-made measures matching local needs.
