EU Mission Adaptation reaches 301 signatories

Following the invitation of the European Commission to join the EU Mission for Adaptation to Climate Change, to date, 301 regions and local authorities have signed the initiative. By signing the Charter, the authorities made it clear that they want to cooperate, mobilise resources and develop activities to reach their climate adaptation goals. Of the 301 authorities, 284 come from 25 EU countries, with 17 more parties from non-EU countries that are associated or potentially associated with Horizon Europe. A further 65 private companies, service centres, research networks and local action groups have committed to improving climate resilience by becoming Friends of the Mission.

All 301 signatories are now part of the community of practice on adaptation to climate change launched on 26 January 2023 in Brussels. The new signatories will benefit from the Mission Implementation Platform, which will be operational in April 2023. Together, they will develop pathways towards climate resilience while having access to climate data and methodologies for climate risk assessments and receiving tailor-made guidance on effective adaptation measures.
