EIT Climate-KIC is a key player in helping Europe adapt to climate change In The News 26 Feb 2021
EIT Climate-KIC welcomes the new EU strategy on adaptation to climate change, its acknowledgement of the need for systemic adaptation and the spotlight it shines on the need to support adaptation innovation.
One of the aims of the new climate adaptation strategy, released by the European Commission on 24 February 2021, is to shift the focus from understanding the problems to developing solutions (e.g. nature-based solutions for adaptation, investing in climate-proof infrastructure and local adaptation actions), and to move from planning to implementation of adaptation strategies and plans.
