The objective of this action is to continue to provide support to the Water4All European Partnership identified in the Horizon Europe 2021-2024 strategic plan and first implemented under the HORIZON-CL6-2021-CLIMATE-01-02: European Partnership on Global Water Security, and in particular to fund additional activities (which may also be undertaken by additional partners) in view of its intended scope and duration, and in accordance with Article 24(2) of Horizon Europe
Detailed Call Description
Proposals for topics under this destination should set out a credible pathway contributing to “fostering mitigation of and adaptation to climate change in areas and sectors covered by Cluster 6”, and more specifically to one or more of the following impacts:
- better understood short-, medium- and long-term ocean health and integrity at different emission scenarios, under the pressure of current and emerging threats, including ocean climate interventions, and the passing of planetary boundaries for ocean acidification;
- medium and longer-term risks and opportunities for agriculture and forestry from climate change, in particular from shifting climatic zones, are better understood and managed at relevant scales within Europe and in the international context, mitigating hazardous changes where possible;
- greenhouse gas emissions in the agriculture, forestry and land-use sectors are further reduced, while monitoring, reporting and verification of the emissions is improved;
- adaptation and mitigation of water systems in the context of climate change are fostered to help build a water resilient society and environment.
To maximise the impacts of R&I under this Destination, a systemic multidisciplinary approach, strong international cooperation as well as the integration of indigenous and local knowledge need to be ensured. Social innovation also needs to be encouraged to involve all stakeholders, with a view to triggering the ownership of new practices and the uptake of solutions.
