This new Projects Info Pack from CORDIS highlights 14 European-funded Mission projects that show the collaborative spirit, innovation and commitment required to address the pressing issues of climate change.

The EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change recognises the urgency of enhancing Europe’s resilience to the impacts of climate change at regional and local levels. The featured projects delve into diverse aspects of adaptation, ranging from leveraging nature as an ally in building green and sustainable solutions to using the most advanced technological solutions to assess and monitor climate risks and impacts.

Equally pivotal to Europe’s future is the EU Mission on Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities, which envisions a future where urban environments are at the forefront of sustainability and innovation. The projects highlighted in this brochure are pioneering solutions that integrate cutting-edge technologies, citizen engagement and sustainable practices to foster climate-neutral and smart cities.

These projects not only contribute to scientific knowledge but also provide tangible, actionable solutions that can be replicated across the continent, in the cities, the regions and at local level. The European Union’s commitment to these Missions reflects the understanding that addressing climate change requires a holistic and interdisciplinary approach – not just about mitigating the impacts, but also being prepared for the changes that are already underway.
