Horizon Climate: Disaster Risk & Adaptation Bridge

Funds one €5M project to connect Europe's climate adaptation and disaster risk communities into shared guidance for regional and local authorities.

OpenEuropean CommissionEU

Climate adaptation and disaster risk management are handled by two separate EU policy communities that rarely compare notes, even though they respond to the same events from different ends — one preparing for climate change's slow-moving effects, the other reacting to acute disasters. The EU's Adaptation to Climate Change Mission and its Preparedness Union Strategy both depend on these two groups

Running a single coordination project that connects Europe's Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management communities: shared methodologies, aligned terminology, joint guidelines for regional and local authorities, and two European Climate Change Adaptation Conferences (ECCA) in 2028 and 2030. It funds the coordination, translation and dissemination work that connects knowledge already produced across both communities — not new adaptation or disaster-risk technology.
