Climate risk assessments for every european region

Making regions resilient

Providing financial, analytical, and practical support to improve regional climate and emergency risk management plans

A first step towards adaptation

CLIMAAX is the flagship project of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change that provides financial, analytical, and practical support to improve regional climate and emergency risk management plans. CLIMAAX is designed to contribute to the harmonization and consolidation of the practice of climate risk assessment, leaving a legacy for upcoming European initiatives.

Meet the Regions

Through the Financial Support for Third Parties mechanism, CLIMAAX supports 68 regional and local authorities and communities in highly climate-vulnerable areas in implementing Climate Change Adaptation strategies and/or updating Risk Management Plans.

Open Call

The CLIMAAX consortium is launching the first Open Call for regions and communities to select regions and communities that will implement the CLIMAAX methodological framework and the supporting CRA toolbox to carry out their regional and local multi-risk assessments.

We are looking for individual applications from public bodies and non-profit legal entities to design and implement a comprehensive climate multi-risk assessment.

This first Call opens on 8 December 2023 at 9:00 Brussels Time and closes on 22 March 2024 at 17:00 Brussels Time.

Call for evidence

We are seeking evidence on principles, guidance, standards, frameworks and reports on regional and local risks assessments, developed and applied in Europe and beyond for different purposes.

We encourage the submission of evidence from diverse sources, such as regional or case studies, policy reports and commissioned assessments that may not be accessible through scientific bibliographic databases.

The evidence can be provided in any language of the European Union!
