Why ecosystem building matters for Climate Adaptation? Lessons from RESIST

The RESIST Community of Interest brought together regions and Mission projects to discuss how local ecosystems can drive climate resilience. Southwest Finland and Central Portugal shared concrete experiences on co-designing adaptation solutions with communities, while Pathways2Resilience and REGILIENCE presented tools and opportunities that all regions can use, even if not directly funded. The session highlighted that effective climate adaptation relies on long-term collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and accessible methodologies that help regions turn strategies into action.
