The CLIMAAX project aims to accelerate the design and implementation of risk management plans for climate adaptation and emergency response across Europe. It provides substantial financial, analytical, and practical support to regions and communities to develop and improve their climate risk assessments

The CLIMAS project addresses the urgent need for citizen engagement in tackling climate change, recognizing the impacts on society, the economy, and the environment, such as flooding and heat waves in Europe. The project aims to develop an innovative climate adaptation toolbox through a values-based approach, design thinking methods, and citizen science mechanisms

The CLIMATEFIT project emphasizes the urgent need for accelerated action to adapt to ongoing climate change. Focusing on Southern, Eastern, and Northwestern Europe, CLIMATEFIT aims to bridge the resilience financing gap by enhancing the capacity of Public Authorities (PAs) and Financing and Investment Entities (FIEs)

ClimEmpower addresses the challenge of effectively utilizing climate information in regions facing both high climate change impacts and low economic potential. Despite the availability of open climate data, stakeholders struggle with concise information and science-based adaptation and mitigation options

The FARCLIMATE project responds to the challenges of implementing climate-resilient measures across diverse EU regions. While policies and technologies to address climate change impacts exist, the project recognizes the need to educate and collaborate with communities facing diverse obstacles

The EU-funded ICARIA project aims to enhance the resilience of critical assets and infrastructures to climate-related disasters. Given the increasing frequency and severity of such disasters, ICARIA employs asset-level modeling to understand direct and indirect impacts of complex, compound, and cascading disasters

The NBRACER project responds to the escalating impacts of climate change by adopting a systemic approach to increase climate resilience in European regions. Acknowledging ongoing natural capital degradation and the need for a comprehensive strategy, NBRACER works across sectors and disciplines, involving local communities in experimentation

LAND4CLIMATE aims to enhance the resilience of landscapes and urban settlements in the continental biogeographical area by promoting the implementation of nature-based solutions (NBS). The project acknowledges challenges in the widespread adoption of NBS, attributing it to the need for more land, a focus on public land, and the untapped potential of private land for climate resilience

The NATALIE project aims to address the risks posed by climate change and advance the concepts of "ecosystem-based adaptation" in Europe through impact-driven Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). The project aligns with the recent IPCC AR6 WGII Report, emphasizing the importance of NBS for resilience to climate change

Pathways2Resilience (P2R) is a project that takes an innovative and systemic approach to enhance regional climate resilience. Its primary goal is to empower a minimum of 100 regions and communities to collaboratively design visions for a climate-resilient future, develop locally led adaptation pathways, and establish innovation agendas

The Regions4Climate (R4C) project addresses the escalating impact of climate change on extreme weather events and aims to build resilient communities and a s ocially-just transition  by integrating best practices and innovations. Focusing on European regions and communities, the project seeks to develop innovative tools and collaborative practices for the creation and implementation of resilience plans

The PIISA project addresses the imperative for EU Member States to enhance their climate change adaptation efforts in tandem with mitigation measures. Recognizing the role of insurance and risk-sharing solutions, PIISA focuses on developing innovative insurance concepts to incentivize proactive and sufficient adaptation efforts by households, firms, and public authorities

REGILIENCE is committed to supporting the European Green Deal and the EU Mission “Adaptation to Climate Change” by fostering the adoption and wide dissemination of regional climate resilience development pathways. The project develops, compiles, shares, and promotes tools and scientific knowledge to support European regions in identifying and addressing their climate-related risks

As mountains face unprecedented challenges due to their higher sensitivity to climate change, adaptation and resilience are crucial. To this end, the project aims to accelerate the climate-resilient transformation of 10 European mountain regions

With extreme weather events on the rise across the continent, decision makers are realizing quickly that Europe’s critical infrastructure is not equipped to handle the effects of climate change. In response to increasing focus on the importance to upgrade and adapt Europe’s critical infrastructure, the MIRACA project aims to assess the multi-hazard risk to Europe’s critical infrastructure and develop an evidence-based decision support toolkit to help authorities and infrastructure managers develop strategies and adaptation solutions

Systems Innovation Approach (SIA) addresses the growing complexity, interdependencies and interconnectedness of modern societies and economies, focusing on the functions of the cross-sectoral system as a whole and on the variety of actors. The Climate Innovation Window (CIW) is the EU reference innovations marketplace for climate adaptation technologies
