ExpectedOutcome:
In support of the European Green Deal, the Adaptation Strategy and the Mission on Adaptation to climate change, the successful proposal will specifically complement and reinforce the work of the Mission Implementation Platform, by addressing Missions’ current untapped potential, as highlighted in Commission’s Communication COM(2023) 457 final[1] and underlying ”Study supporting the assessment of EU missions and the review of mission areas. Mission Adaptation to Climate Change assessment report”[2].
More specifically, the successful project is expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
Scope:
Regional and local authorities are the target groups of the proposed activities and as such they are not expected to participate directly in the consortium, but they should receive services from the project funded by this action.
In order to achieve the indicated scope, the project could provide direct financial support in the form of grants to maximum one entity in each of the MS in facilitating the creation and animation of the “National Adaptation Hub”. To implement the support to third parties, the consortium should include partners with relevant operational and financial experience and viability.
It is expected that the project will have a duration of about 2 years.
Proposals should address two axes of action: 1) establishing and managing so-called “National adaptation hubs”; and 2) implementing a structural grouping scheme as organic component of the multi-governance approach.
For each of the axes of action, proposals should address all the following aspects identified :
Likewise, the grouping should be equally open and encouraged for Mission’s signatories to be clustered and/ or paired with other Mission’s signatories so as to complement ongoing matchmaking and peer learning efforts as part of the Mission Implementation Platform, and other Mission’s initiatives.
