Call for cities: Apply to receive tailored support to advance on adaptation action

The Policy Support Facility is a new initiative launched by the European Commission under the Covenant of Mayors – Europe to assist local and regional authorities implement adaptation strategies.

In this framework, 40 local and regional authorities from 12 EU Member States will have the opportunity to receive tailored support from national and European experts to advance on adaptation action. The support from the Policy Support Facility will focus on one priority measure identified by the city or region. This can be anything climate adaptation-related: it may be to prepare the ground work of identifying risks and vulnerabilities, to develop a local policy to incentivise nature-based solutions, or even to perform a feasibility study for a rainwater catchment infrastructure project.

Cities and regions from Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Spain who are willing to participate are invited to complete a simple application by June 22nd, 2022.
