Launched in 2023, the programme now engages a total of 100 local and regional authorities \u2013 representing over 100 million people \u2013 in a range of trainings designed to enhance their approaches to adaptation and resilience to climate change\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Sixty-two climate-vulnerable regions across Europe ( full list here and below) have been selected to strengthen their climate adaptation plans through Pathways2Resilience, a flagship project of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change. Five of the newly selected entities are ICLEI Europe Members, including the municipalities of Aalborg (Denmark), Belfast (United Kingdom), Braga (Portugal), Pescara (Italy), and Tirana (Albania).<\/span><\/p>\n

Launched in 2023, the programme now engages a total of 100 local and regional authorities \u2013 representing over 100 million people \u2013 in a range of trainings designed to enhance their approaches to adaptation and resilience to climate change . ICLEI Europe has been a key partner in this multi-year programme from the outset.<\/span><\/p>\n

The newly selected regions – home to around 55 million people – join the 38 regions that have started the programme in October 2024, gaining valuable peer support and experience. Each region will receive 210.000\u20ac in grant funding alongside access to tailored tools and guidance, interactive peer learning, mentoring, and expert guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n

This second round represents the final allocation of the EU-funded project\u2019s \u20ac21 million cascade funding. The cohort will have 18 months to develop a robust climate resilience strategy, as well as an action and investment plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI warmly congratulate all regions selected in the second Pathways2Resilience cohort,\u201d said Elina Bardram, Mission Adaptation Manager at the European Commission. \u201cAs a flagship initiative, Pathways2Resilience helps the EU Mission on Adaptation deliver on its objectives and advance regional climate resilience together, through tailored support and peer learning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the most pressing climate hazards identified by this cohort were coastal and river flooding (43%), heat stress (36%), and drought (21%). With Europe warming twice as fast as the global average, Pathways2Resilience\u2019s mission to accelerate regional adaptation has never been more crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pathways2Resilience Summit: Europe’s adaptation community convenes in Budapest<\/span><\/p>\n

On 11 February 2026, all 100 regions will gather in Budapest for the Pathways2Resilience Summit. The Hungarian Capital, an ICLEI Europe member, is already confronting floods and heatwaves, while also being recognised for its innovative climate resilience efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city has moved from fragmented planning to a cohesive resilience strategy, implementing green development initiatives, a rainwater management plan, and measures to combat urban heat and flooding, including the award-winning P\u00fcnk\u00f6sdf\u00fcrd\u0151 Park along the Danube.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith 100 regions now on board, Pathways2Resilience is creating a powerful network of local communities committed to climate adaptation\u201d said Thomas Koetz, Senior Advisor for Climate Resilient Regions at Climate KIC and Pathways2Resilience programme coordinator. \u201cThis second cohort brings fresh energy and diverse perspectives, helping us accelerate Europe\u2019s resilience journey at a time when climate impacts are intensifying. As programme coordinator, Climate KIC is proud of how far we\u2019ve come in turning ambition into actionable plans that safeguard people, economies, and ecosystems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional statements from selected regions<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cBeing selected for Pathways2Resilience is a strong recognition of Worms\u2019 long-term work on climate adaptation. Located in one of Germany\u2019s warmest regions, we will use this support to further strengthen our climate resilience by integrating climate adaptation, heat and water strategies, and by learning with and from other European cities facing similar challenges,\u201d stated Stephanie Rohr, Mayor of the City of Worms, one of the newly selected regions in Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased that East Iceland [Austurland] has been selected to participate in the Pathways2Resilience programme. The region faces increasing climate-related challenges, particularly in rural and coastal communities, and this collaboration will support us in strengthening knowledge, developing practical solutions and building long-term adaptive capacity,\u201d commented Berglind Harpa Svavarsd\u00f3ttir, Chair of the Association of Municipalities in East Iceland (SSA), following Austurland\u2019s selection as a Pathways2Resilience region.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a coastal and urban region facing increasing climate pressures, we look forward to strategic guidance, shared expertise, and tools that will support long-term, integrated climate adaptation planning,\u201d said Iryna Vieklich, Grant Officer from Odesa Oblast, one of the Ukrainian selected regions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ko\u0161ice Self-Governing Region has long positioned itself as a green region, building climate resilience in close cooperation with municipalities and local stakeholders, primarily through nature-based adaptation measures. I am delighted that Ko\u0161ice Region has been selected for the Pathways2Resilience programme, as the growing risks of drought and extreme precipitation, along with our above-average vulnerability, highlight the need for systematic adaptation measures. This project will enable us to modernise the region\u2019s adaptation strategy, leverage expert know-how, and engage in meaningful knowledge exchange with partner regions,\u201d said Rastislav Trnka, President of the Ko\u0161ice Self-Governing Region, a Slovakian region selected for the new cohort.<\/span><\/p>\n
