GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

More specifically, projects under this call should support the ambition of the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change to:

• make adaptation smarter (improving knowledge, managing uncertainty, and informing adaptation actions by robust data and risk assessment tools that are available to all);
• make adaptation more systemic (incorporating climate resilience considerations in all relevant policy fields, because climate change has impacts at all levels of society and across all sectors of the economy);
• make adaptation faster (developing and rolling out adaptation solutions that allow us to adapt more quickly and comprehensively).

The scope and areas of intervention of the topic are:

• Adaptation policy development, and adaptation strategies and plans.
• State-of-the art tools and solutions for adaptation.
• Nature-based solutions in the management of land, coasts and marine areas.
• Adapting cities and regions to climate change.
• Climate-proofing and resilience of infrastructure and buildings.
• Adaptation solutions for farmers, forest managers, Natura 2000 managers and other land managers.
• Water management.
• Preparedness for extreme weather events.
• Financial instruments, innovative solutions and public-private collaboration on insurance and loss data.

The indicative range of project budgets is € 1 000 000 – € 5 000 000 and the estimated number of projects to be funded is 15. The maximum funding rate is 60%.
