Strengthening National Governance for the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change

Adaptation hubs logo

AdaptationHubs is a Coordination and Support Action designed to fully respond to the objectives of the HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-02 call and to act as a practical delivery mechanism for the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. The project will lead to the creation and operationalisation of at least 27 National Multilevel Governance Adaptation Hubs (NAHs) across EU Member States, either by establishing new structures or strengthening existing ones. These hubs will be connected through a structured grouping and twinning framework that enables cooperation, peer learning, and joint action at national, cross-border, and EU levels.

To extend impact beyond the EU-27, AdaptationHubs will also implement a dedicated outreach programme engaging Associated Countries and non-EU countries, reinforcing Europe’s leadership in climate resilience and adaptation governance.

The project builds on an advanced state of readiness. A network of 27 national expert organisations has already been identified and engaged, each closely linked to their country's adaptation governance framework. These organisations have assessed existing institutional arrangements and mapped key national stakeholders. This guarantees that AdaptationHubs focuses from day one on implementation, results, and impact.
