Latest Key Outputs from Community of Practice Thematic Working Groups

The Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) are a cornerstone of collaboration within the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, bringing together experts from EU-funded projects to exchange knowledge, align efforts, and maximise impact. These groups focus on key adaptation themes and play a vital role in generating practical resources to support regional and local adaptation efforts.

The six active TWGs focus on:

• Citizen and stakeholder engagement
• Climate services
• Financing climate action
• Integrating mitigation and adaptation
• Monitoring and evaluation
• Transformational adaptation

Over the past year, the TWGs have been working on a range of outputs, from policy briefs to strategic documents, contributing valuable insights to the Mission’s shared knowledge base.

The latest two major outputs are now available:

• Understanding Transformational Adaptation: A Shared Vision Across EU Horizon Projects – developed by the Transformational Adaptation TWG, this policy brief helps shape a common understanding of transformational adaptation, offering best practices and innovative approaches. Read more here.
• Insights on Monitoring Climate Adaptation Activities – produced by the Monitoring and Evaluation TWG, this document synthesises key challenges and lessons from EU-funded projects, offering guidance for future adaptation initiatives. Access it here.

These latest outputs highlight the strength of cross-project collaboration within the Mission’s Community of Practice. The TWGs will continue refining their work in the coming months, providing further tools and insights to support Europe’s climate adaptation efforts.
