Horizon Climate Adaptation: National Hubs

Funds a €10M project that runs a climate-adaptation hub in every EU country, linking national, regional and local governments.

OpenEuropean CommissionEU

The EU's Climate Adaptation Mission has national strategies and a European Climate Law, but a plan on paper doesn't help a region managing a flood or a town facing its third heatwave in a row. This topic funds the connective tissue between those levels: a coordinator that keeps national policy-makers, regional authorities and local government talking to each other and acting on the same informatio

Running a national adaptation hub in every EU country, plus at least one shared hub for Associated Countries, to connect national climate policy with regional and local action on the ground. Hubs continue and build on the ones the Adaptation Mission already set up, feed lessons into national adaptation strategies, and can pass on cascading grants of up to €200,000 each — one per country — to get every hub actually running. The project also builds a grouping scheme that pairs and clusters regions and local authorities facing similar climate risks, within and across countries, tied into the Mission's existing Community of Practice.
