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.
