Lithuania, with a northern European climate characterised by cold winters, mild summers, and extensive forests and lakes, is strengthening climate resilience through active engagement in the Mission. Ongoing adaptation efforts reflect a growing national commitment to coordinated planning and long-term climate resilience.
The Mission in Lithuania
Lithuania, with a northern European climate characterised by cold winters, mild summers, and extensive forests and lakes, is strengthening climate resilience through active engagement in the Mission. A total of 12 local and regional authorities are participating in Mission Projects, supported by 8 Charter Signatories (regions/local authorities that have signed the Mission Charter and committed to striving toward climate resilience by 2030), and €3.98 million in EU funding has been allocated.

Visit the Lithuania Climate Adaptation Platform (CAP)
Climate Adaptation Platforms (CAPs) are national, regional, and local web-based hubs offering datasets, evidence-based information, tools, and case studies to drive climate resilience.
They contribute directly to the Mission by providing access to national, regional, and local climate datasets, evidence-based information and guidance, as well as practical tools and case studies to support adaptation action. Each CAP is tailored to the country, region or community that it serves to support the design and implementation of adaptation strategies and plans.
Many CAPs foster peer-to-peer learning. They also act as gateways for regional and local authorities to engage with wider initiatives and, thereby, align their actions with national and EU priorities.
