The effects of climate change are becoming more prevalent; they cause environmental degradation, economic losses, and harm to people's health and well-being throughout Europe and the world, underscoring the necessity of developing adaptation strategies in addition to mitigation ones. With the goal of making Europe climate resilient by 2050, the European Commission established a new strategy on adaptation to climate change in 2021 as one of the EU Missions. This strategy offers guidance and calls for cooperation and practical solutions. Communities and regions are important catalysts for driving this transformation, but they require advice to support and help economies and inhabitants adapt to climate change.
REGILIENCE is committed to supporting the European Green Deal and the EU Mission “Adaptation to Climate Change” by fostering the adoption of regional climate resilience development pathways. The project develops, compiles, shares and promotes tools and scientific knowledge to support European regions in identifying and addressing their climate-related risks. We work closely with sister projects, such as ARSINOE, IMPETUS and TransformAr to enhance the capacity of 7 focus regions to tackle the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
REGILIENCE supports communities, cities, and regions in their efforts towards building climate-resilient pathways. To make this support effective, REGILIENCE organises a variety of activities such as events, workshops, trainings, peer-to-peer mentorship, helpdesk, informational and communication material in various channels and actions to inspire policymakers, organisations, and individuals to become part of the change. Additionally, the platform enables them to share experiences, learn from the best practices, provide guidance, and disseminate knowledge and tools in achieving the best possible outcomes for communities and regions impacted by climate change.
