Central Europe faces many climate change challenges like the rest of the world. The main aim of the MISSION CE CLIMATE project is to overcome the disjointed sectoral responses to climate change by introducing a coordinated, cross-sectoral approach that puts local/regional authorities at the centre of the governance and management of the climate resilience process. The overall objective is to support communities in Central Europe to become resilient to climate change and to enable them to respond in a coordinated way to the impacts caused by climate change. The project will build sustainable systems (community climate missions) and community capacities (integrated strategy, local action plans, and solutions). The project attempts to implement a concept conceived by the European Commission in the context of the “ Climate Resilient Europe Mission". The project's intended outcomes are: 1. Establishment of climate resilience systems in partner communities (Community Climate Missions) supported by a joint 2030 Climate Resilience Strategy (definition of actions, business models, financing mechanisms) and locally tailored action plans (project portfolio approach); 2. Enhancing community capacity to adapt to climate change with new skills and tools; 3. Activated citizens contributing to community climate resilience through increased awareness and capacity (tools, etc.); 4. Solutions developed through pilot projects that respond to community adaptation challenges.
