The global climate crisis is an existential threat to the world as they know it. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial, but even stopping all emissions would not stop the climate impacts that are already occurring, and which are likely to continue for decades.
The COVID-19 pandemic has taught them a lesson about how closely connected environmental, societal and human health issues are. What they have lived through and still will is a foretaste of the shocks that climate change will increasingly cause in the future.
But they can break the vicious circle of living on environmental debt and restore planetary health.

This identified mission seeks to turn the urgent challenge of adapting to climate change into an opportunity to make Europe more climate resilient, prepared, competitive and just.
Scope
This action should provide services to support regional and local authorities in their preparation to meet the current requirements of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism legislation, and the foreseen adaptation objectives in the Climate Law, underpinning the new EU strategy on adaptation to climate change in terms of research and innovation, data and knowledge, and capacity and skills.
Furthermore, this action should take stock of past, ongoing and future activities related to climate change adaptation, including innovative approaches to climate adaptation plans to implement a mix of solutions – based on technological, non-technological, and social innovations – and to explore transformative pathways. This would give an indication of best practices and solutions already available, gaps and barriers to address climate change adaptation in a more holistic matter; as well as options for transformative and innovative approaches.

regional and local authorities have access to a range of funding and financing opportunities to create an enabling environment for adaptation action;
regional and local authorities embrace a transformative, inclusive and systemic approach, including societal transformation dimension, towards climate change adaptation action and just transition (in the wider sustainability context);

regional and local authorities adopt an integrated approach to solutions addressing climate change adaptation and climate resilience, namely no/low-regret adaptation solutions with co-benefits of adaptation actions for mitigation, zero pollution, biodiversity (e.g. nature-based solutions), resource efficiency, the economy, society, cultural heritage, human health and well-being;
regional authorities and communities are equipped to assess adaptation gaps in a systematic and forward-looking manner.
