Pathways2Resilience intends to advance a transformative and innovative approach to strengthen climate resilience. More specifically, the Pathways2Resilience will:
- Mobilize regional interests and networks to leverage political commitment towards the Mission Adaptation, elevate the ambition and capability of regional public administrations and connect innovation agendas.
- Trigger wide engagement of citizens and diverse stakeholders in the co-creation of these transformative climate resilience pathways in a way that builds on the best available expertise and multiple understanding of current and future climate risks and opportunities, fosters local ownership and ensures long-term impact.
- Facilitate learning and capability development within and across networked regional cohorts and increase knowledge on adaptation options across different Key Community Systems (KCS), tailor-made to local challenges and needs.
- Boost enabling conditions, including funding and financing, to develop, test and advance systemic innovative solutions that increase local climate resilience.
Pathways2Resilience contributes to the objectives of the EU's Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change and of the Adaptation Strategy by helping the regions to:
- better understand their climate risks;
- develop their pathways to be better prepared and cope with the changing climate; and
- test and deploy innovative solutions needed to build resilience.
