The Regions4Climate project brings together 44 partners from 13 different European countries to demonstrate innovations that enhance societal resilience to the impacts of climate change, in line with the Paris Agreement and the EU Green Deal. Based on cross-sectoral strategies created by and for people, the project partners will collaboratively develop and implement novel social, technological, digital, business, governance, and environmental solutions to reinforce adaptive capacity and minimise vulnerability to climate impacts.

European regions and communities still face difficulties adapting to climate-related hazards – mostly because they lack the right knowledge. The EU-funded REGILIENCE+ project aims to bridge this gap by sharing the latest, most practical adaptation solutions with local and regional authorities. The project will collect 150 proven adaptation solutions and transform them into 70+ hands-on materials, trainings and activities tailored to different regional contexts and needs. These outputs will empower regional and national actors, and feed into important platforms such as Climate-ADAPT and the Mission Implementation Platform. REGILIENCE+ opens the door to faster, smarter and more systemic climate adaptation across Europe’s diverse communities by making knowledge more approachable and actionable.

CARDIMED aims to enhance Climate Resilience in the Mediterranean by mainstreaming Nature-based Solutions in systemic transformation. The project, a part of the EU mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, will demonstrate 47 different types of Nature-based Solutions through 83 interventions across 10 regions and 20 locations. Participating communities will establish the CARDIMED Resilience Alliance, which will function as the vehicle for expanding the network via upscaling the existing sites and adding new ones. The project expects to have 28 regions and 70 communities in the network by 2030, create 8000 jobs in the NBS sector, and mobilize over 450 M€ in climate investment. 

NURISH is a Horizon Europe Mission Adaptation project that aims to strengthen climate resilience in rural areas through the co-development and demonstration of innovative nature-based solutions across four demonstration sites and five reapplication sites. Through its integrated Regenerative Rural Resilience Framework (RRRF), the project combines ecosystem restoration, sustainable water and waste management, circular bioeconomy approaches, digital innovation and immersive tools to address climate risks such as water scarcity, flooding and land degradation. NURISH promotes knowledge transfer, local governance, skills development and nature-based entrepreneurship through strong community engagement and cross-sector collaboration, aligned with the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change and the EU Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas.

MULTICLIMACT is a Horizon Europe project dedicated to enhancing the resilience of Europe's built environment against increasing natural and climatic hazards. By developing a toolkit comprising 18 reliable, easy-to-implement, and cost-efficient design methods, materials, and digital solutions, the project aims to mitigate risks associated with floods, earthquakes, and heatwaves. These solutions are tested across four diverse pilot sites in Italy, Spain, Latvia, and the Netherlands, each representing different geographical locations, hazards, and socio-economic systems. MULTICLIMACT's integrated approach aligns with international and European initiatives on climate-resilient urban planning, placing the built environment and human resilience at the forefront of adaptation measures.

RescueME represents an innovative data-driven, community-based, heritage-centric actionable landscape approach to resilience enhancement can protect our cultural heritage and landscapes while supporting the transition toward a green society and economy that sustains resilient, cohesive, nature-connected communities.

AdaptationHubs is an EU-funded flagship initiative under the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, supporting countries to better prepare for climate change. The project is building a network of 27 National Adaptation Hubs across Europe – one in each Member State – to improve coordination, share solutions, and strengthen the way climate risks are managed at national, regional and local levels. Through peer learning and targeted exchanges, it helps reduce fragmentation and accelerate effective adaptation action across Europe.

Commit2Green is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action project that supports eight European cities in developing integrated, participatory greening strategies to achieve climate neutrality and urban resilience. The project's vision is to enhance the role of nature in cities by aligning ecosystem service supply with local demand, informed through community engagement and district-level analysis. Demonstrator projects serve as real-world testbeds for co-designed interventions that are scalable, inclusive and context-specific; delivering planning tools, participatory models and policy recommendations that can be transferred across European cities.

The EU Covenant of Mayors for climate and energy is an initiative supported by the European Commission bringing together thousands of local governments that want to secure a better future for their citizens. By joining, they voluntarily commit to implementing EU climate and energy objectives, working on climate mitigation, adaptation and energy poverty.
At the EURESFO marketplace, we will showcase the work, opportunities and resources for local authorities on climate adaptation, as well as promote our new campaign on heat decarbonisation in cities.

Urban ReLeaf is a Horizon Europe project that promotes collaboration between local communities and public authorities to address urgent climate issues related to urban greenspace planning, heat stress, and air pollution.

Together with six European cities, the project nurtures citizen-powered environmental monitoring projects that bring the benefits of nature to everyone. Urban ReLeaf focuses on community placemaking, public sector innovation, and tailored strategies to reach a common goal of creating greener, more just and resilient cities for all.

C4T is an EU platform supporting better use of cohesion funds for sustainability transitions. C4T engages national, regional, and local cohesion and sustainability transitions practitioners in sharing experience and good practices, creating partnerships and jointly identifying solutions. C4T also provides technical assistance to facilitate the development and implementation of sustainability transitions.

The EU-funded NBRACER project promotes the creation of climate-resilient, safe, green, clean, healthy and equitable regions through the strategic using of nature-based solutions rooted in biogeographic landscapes. It also empowers communities with transformative actions. Specifically, NBRACER collaborates with European Atlantic regions to develop nature-based solutions that are suited to the local area. These solutions are then scaled up into regional packages and integrated into adaptation strategies with the support of the community.

Land4Climate is a European project supporting climate resilience in regions exposed to floods, droughts, wildfires and biodiversity loss. It promotes the uptake of Nature-based Solutions on private land, recognising landowners as key actors in climate adaptation. The project addresses barriers such as limited incentives, fragmented governance and insufficient business models for NbS implementation on privately owned land. Through testing and demonstration in frontrunner regions, Land4Climate develops innovative land policy instruments, financing mechanisms and governance approaches that enable multifunctional NbS deployment. The project connects public authorities, landowners, researchers and local stakeholders to co-create solutions and replicate successful practices across continental bio-geographical regions. Its outcomes support sustainable land management, climate adaptation and the mainstreaming of NBS across Europe.

The Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI) supports cities and regions in planning, launching, and scaling their circular transition. It provides access to technical expertise, peer learning, funding guidance, and practical tools to turn strategies into tangible projects.
