Event

Resilient Europe: Empowering regions for climate adaptation

LOCATION
Brussels & online
DATE
23 November 2023, 10:00 - 13:00 CET

Join the Pathways2Resilience launch conference and help shape a common vision for regional climate adaptation.

Pathways2Resilience is a flagship project under the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, working to empower 150 regions in developing transformative adaptation plans. It is implemented by 14 partners from 10 countries and coordinated by EIT Climate-KIC.

On 23 November, in Brussels and online, we will explore how regions are successfully implementing the EU Mission and what transformative adaptation looks like in practice, from new finance models, to ecosystem engagement, to innovative policies.

You will hear from Elina Bardram, Mission Adaptation Manager, on how regions are key in shaping our continent’s resilience, and you will meet and discuss with regional representatives among EU Mission Charter signatories and beyond, EU policymakers, national governments and climate resilience experts.

On this day, Pathways2Resilience will also launch its first call for applications, which will select regions and communities that will receive funding and supporting services from the programme to develop transformative strategies and action plans towards climate resilience.

Please note that physical places are limited: make sure to indicate your preference to attend in person, and we will confirm your spot closer to the event date.
