The Pathways2Resilence project, launched earlier this week, will empower at least 100 regions and communities in designing pathways and innovation agendas to become climate resilient by 2030. 

The five year EU funded project, coordinated by EIT Climate KIC and with 14 partners, has been launched to implement the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, proposing a systemic innovation and capability-driven approach to strengthening climate resilience more efficiently across regions, communities, and their ecosystems. The project will develop a Regional Resilience Journey framework and increase regions' knowledge on adaptation options across different areas of innovation, to equip regions and communities to develop climate resilience pathways and connected innovation agendas that are tailor-made to their local challenges and needs. To achieve this, the initiative will foster cross-regional learning, collaboration, mentoring and capacity building, and citizens and stakeholder will be involved in the co-creation of the pathways.

ERRIN will be leading the work on mobilising regions and communities to engage with Pathways2Resilence and the wider Mission Adaptation. ERRIN members, along with all regions, will be able to apply for the €21M of funding that will be allocated across 100 regions and communities via two open call cycles.

The official press release is attached.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement n° 101093942.

Pathways2Resilience is the latest project in ERRIN's wider commitment to the EU's Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. In addition to the recently launched RESIST project, ERRIN now has a dedicated Adaptation Task Force that will be following all of the developments surrounding the Mission.
