Pathways2Resilience

Read a new Policy Brief on Transformational Adaptation 🌍 Pathways2Resilience is proud to have co-authored a new policy brief that defines #TransformationalAdaptation and explores why systemic approaches are key to advancing climate resilience. Developed under the EU Mission Implementation Platform for Adaptation to Climate Change (MIP4Adapt), this brief brings together expertise from several EU Horizon projects to guide decision-makers at all levels. What’s addressed? ✔️ A shared vision on Transformational Adaptation ✔️ Challenges to scaling adaptation efforts ✔️ Practical recommendations and examples This collaborative effort with our Mission Adaptation sister projects TransformAr, Climate Impetus, REGILIENCE, DesirMED, CARDIMED EU, TRANSCEND Project, and CLIMATEFIT_HEU reinforces the need for bold, forward-thinking strategies to accelerate climate adaptation across Europe. 📑 Read the full publication: https://lnkd.in/egXtivQW. #TransformationalAdaptation #ClimateResilience #MissionAdaptation

📄 Exciting New Research Publication! 💥 We’re proud to share that our #P2R partner Deltares, along with Valeria Di Fant and co-authors Hans Middelkoop, Frances E. Dunn, and Marjolijn Haasnoot, has just published a new paper in Regional Environmental Change! The paper, titled "Supporting adaptive pathways planning using archetypes for climate adaptation", introduces a novel set of archetypes designed to support adaptive pathways planning. These archetypes are based on different combinations of adaptation awareness and adaptation capacity, offering fit-for-purpose methods and tools for policymakers across the globe. The research draws on a wide range of cities and regions, providing valuable insights to help communities effectively navigate the complexities of climate adaptation. 🌱 Keen to learn more?

💶🌡️Insights from Pathways2Resilience partner Regions4 on how to bridge the Climate Finance Gap - a throwback.   At #COP29, the MAIA Resilience EU project hosted "Building the Business Case for Climate Finance at the Subnational Level," a high-level side event that brought together experts to address one of the biggest barriers to climate action: funding at the local level. Key Takeaways: 💰 More funding must reach local and regional actors to scale climate action. 🌱 Adaptation remains critically underfunded—less than 2% of global climate finance. 🤝 Public-private collaboration is essential to unlock investment. 📊 Better data-sharing and governance will improve access to finance. 💡 Capacity-building is key to designing bankable projects. The way forward? - Increase direct climate finance for local and regional actors - Develop innovative financial instruments tailored to subnational needs - Strengthen collaboration between public and private sectors - Transition from short-term funding to long-term resilience investments Together, we can empower subnational actors to turn climate ambition into action!   🤓 Read the full event outcomes report and discover key takeaways & recommendations to drive subnational climate finance forward: https://lnkd.in/eY6iT4fh   What are your thoughts on scaling subnational climate finance?

📢 Today, we’re pleased to introduce you to the VALORADA EU project! Launched in 2023 and funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme, the VALORADA project is a collaborative effort of 14 European partners working towards a shared goal: to empower regions and cities to drive the societal transformation required for sustainable and climate-resilient development. 💡 What is VALORADA all about? VALORADA aligns with the EU’s Adaptation Mission, aiming to support 150 European regions in becoming sustainable and climate-resilient by 2030. It focuses on: • Accelerating societal transformations • Demonstrating systemic solutions • Improving access to and usability of climate data 📈 What have we achieved so far? At the halfway point of this 36-month journey, VALORADA has already delivered remarkable results, including: • Developing tailored methodologies to assess climate risks and vulnerabilities in pilot regions • Engaging local stakeholders through collaborative workshops, ensuring solutions are grounded in local needs • Enhancing climate data usability, enabling regions to make informed, data-driven decisions 🚀 As we look ahead, the VALORADA consortium remains committed to steering societal transformation, fostering climate adaptation, and empowering regions to build a sustainable future. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress! 🔗 For more details about VALORADA EU, visit our website: https://lnkd.in/dtzQxZKy and our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/eQGX_3Tz 👉To subscribe to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eBzKvJgZ
