The European Union's mission on climate change adaptation focuses on supporting regions, cities, and local authorities in their efforts to strengthen their resilience against the impacts of climate change.

The goal is to support at least 150 European regions, local authorities, and communities in achieving climate resilience by 2030. To achieve this goal, three interconnected and mutually reinforcing lines of action have been defined:

• prepare Europe for climate crises by providing comprehensive support to better manage climate risks. This is done by improving access to climate data, risk assessments, planning tools, and governance approaches that strengthen long-term preparedness;
• accelerate the transition to a resilient future through financial and technical assistance to develop strategies, strengthen institutional capacity, access to financing, and mainstream resilience into sectoral policies and investment decisions;
• build and demonstrate resilience on the ground with solutions already in place in at least 75 regions and local authorities and scaled up across Europe. These concrete demonstrations help transform innovative approaches into implementable solutions, adaptable to different regional contexts.
