Adaptation Solutions for Regional Climate Resilience (REGILIENCE +)

European regions and communities still face difficulties adapting to climate-related hazards – mostly because they lack the right knowledge. The EU-funded REGILIENCE+ project aims to bridge this gap by sharing the latest, most practical adaptation solutions with local and regional authorities. The project will collect 150 proven adaptation solutions and transform them into 70+ hands-on materials, trainings and activities tailored to different regional contexts and needs. These outputs will empower regional and national actors, and feed into important platforms such as Climate-ADAPT and the Mission Implementation Platform. REGILIENCE+ opens the door to faster, smarter and more systemic climate adaptation across Europe’s diverse communities by making knowledge more approachable and actionable.

The need: Despite their climate action, mission signatories still face major challenges in climate adaptation planning and implementation. Among specific needs to address the challenges and facilitate adaptation actions, the largest single need identified by 72% of the signatories was ‘knowledge’, replicated across most countries, geographical locations and types of regions.
Expected outputs: Improved knowledge via 150 solutions in the form of case studies, adaptation options and tools included in online inventories (preferably Climate-ADAPT) and 70 multilingual communication products, services, and activities.
Envisaged outcomes: Inclusion of inventory updates in mainstream climate adaptation knowledge platforms, and Use of communication products, services, and activities by MIP4Adapt, National organisations and initiatives (including National Adaptation Hubs), Regional and Local authorities, and other entities addressing climate adaptation. Established procedures for the inclusion of inventory updates are in place and used beyond the timeline of REGILIENCE+.
Aimed impacts: Smarter, swifter and more systemic adaptation in European regions and local communities, due to improved access to and replication of available and actionable solutions.
