About the project

Resilience to climate change required coordinated action across sectors, institutions and communities. MISSION CE CLIMATE helped regions in Central Europe align their responses to climate impacts. Project partners activated citizens in pilot regions, introduced Community Climate Resilience Missions and developed a joint 2030 Climate Resilience Strategy with locally adapted action plans and practical solutions.

Central Europe faced many climate change challenges, including heat, drought, heavy precipitation and pressure on local water systems. MISSION CE CLIMATE addressed fragmented, sector-based responses by introducing a coordinated, cross-sectoral approach that placed local and regional authorities at the centre of climate resilience governance.

The project supported communities across Central Europe in improving their ability to prepare for and respond to climate impacts. It built sustainable Community Climate Resilience Missions, strengthened local capacities and delivered an integrated strategy, local action plans, tools, training and pilot solutions. The approach was inspired by the European Commission’s Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change.

The project achieved four main results:

• Climate resilience systems were established in partner communities through Community Climate Resilience Missions, supported by a joint 2030 Climate Resilience Strategy and locally tailored action plans.
• Local and regional capacities to adapt to climate change were strengthened through new skills, tools, training and practical guidance.
• Citizens were activated and supported to contribute to community climate resilience through awareness-raising, participation and capacity-building activities.
• Pilot solutions were developed and tested to respond to local adaptation challenges in partner territories.
