Seminar "Climate Adaptation in Action" Highlights Projects from the Environment Program in the Context of Climate Change Adaptation

Seminar

On May 23, the EEA Grants Environment Program hosted the seminar "Environment Programme Projects for Climate Adaptation" at the CCDR-A Auditorium in Évora. The main objective of this event was to highlight concrete and innovative actions that enhance resilience and responsiveness to climate change in target areas.

Part of the Forum on Adaptation Discussion promoted by the Environment Program, the seminar is integrated into Outcome 3 – Increasing resilience and responsiveness to climate change in specific areas. During the event, the current situation and adaptation measures in the context of global action were discussed, focusing on practical actions that reduce the risks associated with climate change.

The seminar underscored the importance of collaboration and innovation in addressing climate challenges, promoting the exchange of knowledge and experiences among different regions and actors. Through this sharing, it is hoped to strengthen the implementation of adaptation policies and initiatives in various areas.

The results of the seminar include significant funding and the creation of new jobs in the climate adaptation sector. Highlights include:

  • €1,300,000 allocated to National Level Adaptation Policy Funding.
  • €3,808,301.2 allocated to Local Level Adaptation Policy Funding.

  • 9 projects involving partnerships with donor countries.
  • 4 new jobs created in the context of climate adaptation.

These results reflect the commitment of the EEA Grants and their partners in promoting climate resilience and environmental sustainability.
