Adaptation & Resilience
Adapting to climate change means taking action to adjust to its present and future impacts.
The climate and nature crises are interconnected and need to be tackled together.
Funding & Innovation
How the EU funds climate action in Europe and beyond.
Horizon Europe is the European Union’s key instrument for addressing climate challenges through cutting-edge research and innovation.
Cooperation & Engagement
Because climate change is global.
Spearheading a climate-neutral future with Europe’s towns, cities and regions.
The EU Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy is the largest movement of local governments in Europe acting on climate change to secure a better future for their citizens. It gathers over 10,500 local authorities voluntarily committed to the European Union’s energy and climate targets.
Get together with a group of family, friends, students or colleagues and discuss how best we can fight climate change by changing the way we travel, eat and use energy.
