DG CLIMA, via the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change

Mission Solutions Explorer

The objective of the tool is to collect proven climate adaptation solutions that have been implemented and help communities adapt to climate risks. Users can filter these solutions via country, climate hazard, and theme to narrow down their search for solutions that best fit their situation. Solutions are visualiazed on a map too. Information provided for each solution includes economic, social, and environmental outcomes, as well as guidance on who can implement the solutions and how this can be scaled to different locations.
