Help Shape the Next EU Long-Term Budget for Climate Adaptation

The European Commission has launched consultations to shape the next EU long-term budget (Multiannual Financial Framework), setting priorities for funding across Europe from 2028 onwards. This is a key opportunity to ensure that climate adaptation remains a central focus in future EU investments.

A modern EU budget should be simpler, more impactful, and better targeted to address pressing challenges—including resilience to climate change. The Commission’s proposals include:

• National and regional investment plans co-designed with local authorities
• A European Competitiveness Fund to support strategic sectors and technologies
• More targeted financing for external action aligned with EU priorities
• Stronger safeguards for the rule of law

The Commission is inviting input from all stakeholders, with public consultations open until 6 May 2025 at noon. A European Citizens' Panel will also bring together 150 Europeans to discuss and propose recommendations.

Make your voice heard and help shape future EU funding for climate adaptation. Participate in the public consultations here.
