Mission Implementation Platform (MIP4Adapt)
The Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change focuses on supporting EU regions, cities and local authorities in their efforts to build resilience against the impacts of climate change.
Overview of the project
For Charter Signatories, MIP4Adapt is facilitating a Community of Practice and delivering technical assistance to enable regions and local authorities to use their existing climate vulnerability and risk assessments to develop climate adaptation plans and implement solutions; identify appropriate climate adaptation demonstration projects and financial support for their implementation; and stimulate engagement of citizens and stakeholders.
The programme work includes:
– Facilitating a Community of Practice
– Facilitating the alignment of relevant EU-funded projects with the work of MIP4Adapt
– Presenting on Climate-ADAPT guidance, tools, data, and relevant projects for climate resilience on the online Mission Portal.
– Providing tailored technical assistance to Charter Signatories.
– Providing a Helpdesk function within the Community of Practice.
The Mission Implementation Platform (MIP 4Adapt) supports European regional and local authorities to prepare and plan their adaptation pathways to climate resilience.

organisation
The Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change focuses on supporting EU regions, cities and local authorities in their efforts to build resilience against the impacts of climate change. The Mission aims to accompany at least 150 European regions and communities towards climate resilience by 2030.
It will help regions and local authorities to understand better the climate risks that they are and will be confronted with in the future; develop their pathways to be better prepared and cope with the changing climate; and test and deploy on the ground innovative solutions needed to build resilience to climate change.
MIP4Adapt is implemented by Ricardo, an environmental sustainability consultancy with wide-ranging experience in supporting international and bilateral development partners, the European Commission, national, subnational and local governmental bodies, and the private sector in relation to all aspects of climate adaptation planning.
