100+ European regions on a transformative climate resilience journey

Pathways2Resilience is an EU-funded programme led by Climate KIC, empowering more than 100 regions and communities across Europe to co-design visions of a climate-resilient future.

Running from 2023 to 2027, this flagship initiative under the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change is helping participating regions develop transformative adaptation strategies in a locally-led and participatory way.

Through two public calls, allocating a total of €21 million in cascade funding, selected regions receive direct funding, as well as guidelines, tools, and hands-on training and mentoring, to develop ready-to-implement innovation plans with concrete interventions supporting climate resilience.

As coordinator of the project, Climate KIC is overseeing the selection and subgranting process, defining the methodology for regions to achieve transformative, long-lasting change, and running a comprehensive capacity building programme.

ARCADIA is an EU-funded project supporting eight European regions and communities in Italy, Croatia, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovenia to accelerate climate adaptation through nature-based solutions.

As project partner, Climate KIC is supporting a twinning-based learning process between these regions built on evidence-based knowledge, tools, and services. We’re also helping them embed systems thinking and transformative change in their pilot interventions, ensuring that nature-based solutions are driving resilience and social justice, instead of being seen as isolated technical solutions.

DesirMED is an EU-funded project supporting eight European regions in Italy, Croatia, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus to accelerate climate adaptation through nature-based solutions, with an eye on the specific needs and context of Mediterranean communities.

As project partner, Climate KIC coordinates capacity building activities, creating a coherent knowledge system that helps regions learn from each other, as well as replicating and scaling the solutions that have proved most effective.

NBRACER is an EU-funded project supporting eight European regions in Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark to accelerate climate adaptation through nature-based solutions, with an eye on the specific needs and context of Atlantic communities.

SystR is an EU-funded project supporting six regions in France, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, and Greece in strengthening their adaptation plans with a specific eye to improving governance, creating financial roadmaps, and integrating resilience solutions.

As project partner, Climate KIC is helping these regions with trainings and self-assessment tools.
