To kick start the year, the Covenant of Mayors - Europe Office is glad to release the publication "Adapting to climate change in European cities: Towards smarter, swifter & more systemic action".

In this context, this publication is designed for decision-makers and technical staff working on climate change adaptation and resilience in local and regional governments.

Divided into 4 main chapters - The EU policy landscape (1), Smarter adaptation: improving knowledge and managing uncertainty (2), More systemic adaptation: support policy development at all levels and sectors (3), Faster adaptation: Speeding up adaptation across the board 5.1 Mission on “Adaptation to Climate Change (4), this publication complements existing resources, methodologies and case studies published by the Covenant of Mayors - Europe Office to support local and regional governments implementing climate adaptation in Europe.
