100 European regions on a transformative climate resilience journey

Adapting to climate change and building climate resilience in Europe has become crucial, as the disastrous impacts of global warming start to affect our continent, and especially its most vulnerable communities.
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 builds on assessments of climate risks and resilience opportunities, and helps 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 will be able to develop ready-to-implement innovation plans with concrete interventions supporting climate resilience. In addition to direct funding, they will have access to practical guidelines, tools, and hands-on training and mentoring.
Pathways2Resilience is also providing locally-led Innovation Practice Groups engaging regions, local practitioners and citizens groups (with particular attention to vulnerable communities) and an Adaptation Finance Lab, to increase knowledge on innovative adaptation solutions and promote access to adaptation finance.
