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.
Together, let’s create a resilient Europe

The Regions4Climate project will plan and implement real climate resilient innovations 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 aiming at helping to deliver the European Green Deal. This mission supports around 150 regions and communities in Europe towards climate resilience by 2030.
Several of the demo regions participating in Regions4Climate have signed the Charter of the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. Discover all the signatories here.
