Green Deal Project Support Office Webinar: Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change

The Green Deal Project Support Office (GD-SO) is hosting a webinar series to highlight cutting-edge developments and innovations from the Green Deal Call Projects and share them with a wider audience. The “Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change” webinar will take place on 24th October from 10:00-12:00 h CEST. This webinar will deploy the new impact-oriented approach of European research and innovation policy in support of the European Green Deal’s objectives and will play an important role in promoting implementation of the 2021 EU Adaptation Strategy.

The Mission deploys the new impact-oriented approach of European research and innovation policy in support of the European Green Deal’s objectives and will play an important role in promoting implementation of the 2021 EU Adaptation Strategy. Investments from the EU and Member States in research and innovation for adaptation in past decades have already contributed to generate solutions. Once implemented at scale, they will contribute to increasing resilience to climate change.

The aim of the webinar will be to introduce the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change and to identify and foster synergies with the project funded under the H2020 Green Deal Call. The webinar will:

  1. Provide an introduction to the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change (from an EU-level policy perspective)
  2. Explain how the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change will link science, policy, and implementation
  3. Illustrate through the Horizon Green Deal climate adaptation projects, how bridges are being built between science and the implementation of climate adaptation pathways and solutions through pilots, which can then serve as exemplars
  4. Provide ideas on how the Horizon 2020 Green Deal climate adaptation projects can collaborate and pursue synergies with other relevant EU Missions (i.e., Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities; Restoration of our Ocean and Waters; and A Soil Deal for Europe).

 Speakers:

  1. Lead Facilitator, the Horizon 2020 Green Deal Project Support Office’s Climate Change and & Biodiversity Working Group – Richard Smithers (Ricardo Energy & Environment)
  2. European Commission representative of the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change (Sophie Berger, Unit B.3 Climate and Planetary boundaries, DG RTD)
  3. Elena Lopez Gunn – Cheney Research Fellow, Leeds University, CEO I-CATALIST.
  4. REGILIENCE project coordinator – Guido Schmidt (Fresh Thoughts)
  5. Transnational Cooperation on the Missions approach (TRAMI) – Michael Ploder (Joanneum)
