Objective of the funding programme

The Climate Change Adaptation Model Regions for Austria (KLAR) programme, funded by the Austrian Climate and Energy Fund, provides a process-oriented framework that supports municipalities in raising awareness of climate change adaptation and in implementing concrete regional measures.

The programme includes the following sub-programmes:

  • KLAR! Klimawandel-Anpassungsmodellregionen: Supports regions in developing and implementing adaptation concepts, as well as in continuing their adaptation efforts.

  • KLAR! Invest: Provides financial support for the implementation of climate adaptation measures, particularly in the areas of heat protection and water management.

The most recent call for applications closed at the end of January 2025, and a new call is expected to open in summer 2025.
