Demonstrating solutions to help hotspots in coastal regions to adapt to climate change
Funds consortia to demonstrate climate resilience solutions — nature-based, digital or governance — in at least three coastal hotspot regions across different EU countries.
This call runs as a single-stage Horizon Europe Innovation Action, one of six topics sharing the HORIZON-MISS-2025-01 call for the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. Award criteria, scoring and thresholds sit in the Work Programme's General Annex D, and the submission and evaluation process and indicative timeline to grant agreement sit in Annex F, common to every topic in this Work Progr…
The funder wants demonstrated, co-designed solutions for coastal climate risks such as sea-level rise, coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion, with nature-based and blue-green infrastructure prioritised. Proposals must run demonstrations in at least three coastal regions in different Member States or Associated Countries, with at least one in a recognised climate hotspot area.
