Adaptation Task Force

The Adaptation Task Force builds on the previous ERRIN's work around the EU Mission on Adaptation and focuses on continuing the long-standing dialogue with the Mission Secretariat, as well as the process around the Adaptation Charter and the functioning of the Adaptation Mission Implementation Platform. Looking into the links between the Adaptation and Cities Missions, the Task Force plans to provide input into discussions around the implementation of the Mission and explore funding opportunities related to the Mission. The main activity will be to exchange between regions/regional stakeholders on how they are approaching and working on the Adaptation Mission.
