The European Climate Adaptation Platform (Climate-ADAPT) is a partnership between the European Commission and the European Environment Agency (EEA). Climate-ADAPT is maintained by the EEA with the support of the European Topic Centre on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation (ETC/CCA).

Climate-ADAPT aims to support Europe in adapting to climate change by assisting users to access and share data and information related to:

• Projected climate change in Europe
• Current and future vulnerability of regions and sectors
• EU, national, and transnational adaptation strategies and actions
• Adaptation case studies and potential adaptation options
• Tools supporting adaptation planning

The EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change aims to strengthen the resilience of European regions and communities to climate change impacts. The Mission Portal provides information, resources, and tools to support local and regional authorities, stakeholders, and citizens in developing and implementing adaptation strategies. It also promotes cooperation and the exchange of good practices.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) provides authoritative information on past, present, and future climate conditions in Europe and worldwide, supporting climate-related decision-making, mitigation, and adaptation.

JRC PESETA is a long-term research project of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) assessing the scale and distribution of climate risks in Europe. Since 2006 (currently PESETA V), it has delivered quantitative, scientifically robust assessments of climate change impacts across multiple sectors, supporting key EU policies such as the European Green Deal and the EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change. The results highlight both the costs of inaction and the benefits of adaptation, based on large-scale, high-resolution modelling.

The European Parliament’s climate change webpage provides information on legislative initiatives and policies addressing climate mitigation, adaptation, energy efficiency, and sustainable development. It also presents the Parliament’s cooperation with other European and international institutions in tackling the climate crisis.

The Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) leads the European Commission’s efforts to combat climate change and guide the EU towards a climate-neutral and climate-resilient society. DG CLIMA develops and implements climate policies and legislation aligned with the EU’s 2030 and 2050 targets, promotes resilience to climate risks, and supports a just transition.

The European Council’s climate policy page presents the main decisions, strategic orientations, and policy directions adopted by EU Heads of State and Government in response to climate change.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) provides data, analyses, and assessments on climate change in Europe, focusing on impacts, risks, extreme weather events, socio-economic consequences, and adaptation strategies.

More specifically:

• Climate Change: Impacts, Risks and Adaptation

• Climate – Overview

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the main international treaty coordinating global efforts to address climate change and forms the basis for agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.

The Convention has 198 Parties – 197 countries and the European Union – making it one of the most widely ratified international treaties worldwide.

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is an international body established by the United Nations with the aim of providing scientific assessments on climate change, its impacts, and possible strategies for adaptation and mitigation. The IPCC gathers and analyzes data from scientists around the world, publishing reports that serve as key reference points for policymaking in response to the climate crisis.

The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) accelerates global action on climate adaptation through policy development, research, advocacy, and communication, with a strong focus on supporting the most vulnerable populations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) – Climate Change and Health section highlights the impacts of climate change on human health.

Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts, including the integration of climate action into national policies and strategies, and presents global initiatives and progress indicators.

The Climate Innovation Window is a European climate resilience platform serving as a reference gateway for climate adaptation innovations, providing access to ready-to-deploy adaptation solutions.

The LIFE programme is the EU’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. Created in 1992, it has co-financed thousands of projects.

Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation. Following the Multiannual Financial Framework Midterm Review (MTR) decision, the indicative funding amount for Horizon Europe for the period 2021-2027 is EUR 93.5 billion.

It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

The “National Network for Climate Change and its Impacts – CLIMPACT” is an interdisciplinary consortium comprising 28 members from the academic and research communities in Greece and Cyprus, involved in the field of climate change (CC) and its associated climate risks, natural disasters, as well as social and economic impacts.

The National Information System for Biodiversity in Greece, developed through the LIFE EL-BIOS project, is designed to support the monitoring, conservation, and management of biodiversity, while also strengthening the country’s response to European and international commitments.

Managed by the Natural Environment and Climate Change Agency (NECCA), the system will serve as Greece’s central biodiversity platform, providing valuable resources to both the scientific community and society.

The Climate Change Hub is a scalable multi-year initiative of three international institutions: Resilience Cities Catalyst (RCC), the Democracy & Culture Foundation (DCF), and Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP), to advance progress toward climate transformation and recovery goals in Greece and the broader region of southeast Europe through cross-sectoral collaborative action that elevates community voice. It operates as an independent non-for-profit entity in the context of the program Resilience and Recovery in Greece and S.E Europe.
