Boosting adaptation to climate change: Climate-ADAPT Training Session for Romania

The European Climate Adaptation Platform (Climate-ADAPT) is a partnership between the European Commission's Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). Its main objectives are to share the knowledge base and practical implementation experiences in the field of climate change adaptation, assist an effective uptake of this knowledge by decision makers and contribute to a greater level of coordination among the relevant sectoral policies and different institutional levels, as a contribution to the aim of the EU Adaptation Strategy to support better informed decision-making for a more climate-resilient Europe.

Following the webinar “National and EU level knowledge and tools for Romania” hold on 8 June, this training session focuses on how to use and explore Climate-ADAPT from a sector perspective (and potentially from other perspectives) and how to become an active contributor by submitting information to the platform. The training also provides a reflection on how the current available information is being used and which potential knowledge gaps could be addressed at the European level.

The target audience of the webinar are current and potential new users and information providers of Climate-ADAPT in Romania, i.e., governmental decision-makers as well as the organisations supporting them in the development, implementation, and evaluation of climate change adaptation strategies, plans and actions at all governance levels in Europe.

The training will be held in English.
