Join this interactive webinar to explore new data and knowledge tools from the European Environment Agency (EEA) on the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change Portal. The Mission Portal is a new section on Climate-ADAPT, designed to support the Mission’s goal of assisting local and regional authorities across Europe in building climate resilience.

The webinar will showcase the Regional Adaptation Support Tool (RAST), designed to assist local and regional authorities across the EU in planning and implementing climate adaptation strategies. Attendees will receive an in-depth, guided walkthrough of the steps, resources and tools available for each stage of the adaptation policy cycle, with a particular emphasis on the Adaptation Dashboard and its use. This dashboard provides user-friendly access to comprehensive climate risk data, including information on hazards, impacts, vulnerabilities, and policy responses, enabling decision-makers to effectively assess and manage climate risks. Additional resources from Climate-ADAPT will also be highlighted.

The webinar will also cover new reporting activities under the Mission, with the reporting platform now open for submissions. Signatories are encouraged to begin reporting this year, promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

The webinar is aimed at local and regional decision-makers, organisations involved in climate adaptation, and anyone interested in these tools and activities under the Mission. Attendees will also be invited to provide feedback via Slido, with opportunities to ask questions and engage throughout the session.
