EU Mission Adaptation signatories now number over 300

The European Commission has, to date, welcomed the signatures of 301 regions and local authorities who have joined the EU Mission for Adaptation to Climate Change.

By signing the Charter, the authorities made it clear that they want to cooperate, mobilise resources and develop activities to reach their climate adaptation goals. Of the 301 authorities, 284 come from 25 EU countries, with 17 more parties from non-EU countries that are associated or potentially associated with Horizon Europe, the EU's research and innovation programme. A further 65 private companies, service centres, research networks and local action groups have committed to improving climate resilience by becoming Friends of the Mission.

All 301 signatories are now part of the community of practice on adaptation to climate change launched on 26 January 2023 in Brussels. Signatories met, networked, and shared experiences at the launch event, a cooperation set to intensify when a platform goes live in April. Training and technical advice on how to plan and implement climate adaptation measures will be available on the platform.
