EU-funded projects generate valuable knowledge, innovative solutions and practical experience that strengthen climate resilience across Europe. Climate-ADAPT brings together the most relevant results from European and national funding programmes under the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). The results are made accessible and actionable for policy makers, practitioners and researchers.
Key messages
EU-funded projects play a central role in advancing climate adaptation across Europe. Through research, innovation, demonstration and territorial cooperation, they generate the evidence, tools and practical solutions needed to support climate-resilient policies and actions.
Climate-ADAPT provides a gateway to this knowledge. Rather than duplicating existing project databases, the platform helps users discover, navigate and access the most relevant adaptation knowledge produced under European funding programmes. It brings together project results, practical tools, guidance, case studies and lessons learned, making them easier to find and apply in policy and practice.
Climate-ADAPT provides access to knowledge generated through major European funding programmes, including Horizon Europe, the LIFE programme, Interreg, and national adaptation programmes. Climate-ADAPT also highlights knowledge emerging from the European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA), Europe's leading forum for exchanging adaptation knowledge, innovative solutions and practical experience.
By connecting users with high-quality project outcomes, Climate-ADAPT helps transform research and innovation into practical action, accelerating climate resilience across Europe.

Why EU-funded projects matter for climate change adaptation
European funding programmes are essential to advancing climate change adaptation. They support innovative solutions, strengthen cooperation across countries and regions, and generate knowledge that individual organisations or Member States could not develop alone. By pooling resources and expertise, EU funding helps address shared climate risks, scale up effective adaptation measures and support the EU’s environmental, economic and societal objectives in a changing climate.
