Demonstration of approaches to improve bankability of solutions by design, addressing the co-benefits (mitigation and adaptation) to improve revenues streams

Closed

Code: 33966 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-06 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

While evidence suggests that there is financing available to address climate adaptation, it is also evident that there is a shortage of bankable opportunities. Most promising climate adaptation projects rely on grants and public investments for their development. In many cases, while they benefit the public good, they struggle to prove any profitability and they risk getting abandoned at the end of the project when the initial financing comes to an end.

The European Investment Bank has shown that climate projects succeeding in securing investments are very rarely only addressing adaptation to climate change and in most of the cases they rather add a climate proofing component to a bigger project.

Proposals should identify financially valuable cases of climate projects including climate adaptation dimension on top of other benefits.

Demonstration of solutions specifically suited to rural areas and small/ medium size population local communities

Closed

Code: 33963 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-07 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

This topic focuses on the demonstration of solutions specifically suited to rural areas and small/ medium size population local communities.

Proposals should identify approaches and innovative solutions leading to an increase of the resilience and adaptation capacity to climate change which are particularly suitable for implementation by small and medium local authorities and the rural context. These solutions could include technological, social and business-related aspects or a combination of those. Nature-based solutions should be explored as priority and be at the very heart of the development whenever possible.

Demonstration of approaches by regions and local authorities focused on increasing climate resilience of the most vulnerable social groups (just climate resilience)

Closed

Code: 33960 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-08 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

This topic is related with the demonstration of different approaches by regions and local authorities focused on increasing climate resilience of the most vulnerable social groups (just climate resilience).

Proposals should identify, develop, test and demonstrate equitable adaptation actions and solutions, increasing adaptive capacity, reducing vulnerability and risks and addressing specific climate vulnerabilities identified as relevant at regional and local scale, taking into account place-based climate data, socio-economic information, and local governence.

Systemic and cross-sectoral solutions for climate resilience, tailored to the local needs of regions and local authorities

Closed

Code: 33958 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-09 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

The growing complexity, interdependencies and interconnectedness of modern societies and economies require that climate action is tackled with a systemic approach. Effectively adapting to climate change relies on cross-sectoral approaches, looking at the system as a whole, and on the inclusion of a variety of actors.

This topic focuses on systemic and cross-sectoral solutions for climate resilience, tailored to the local needs of regions and local authorities.

Supporting national, regional and local authorities across Europe to prepare for the transition towards climate neutrality within cities

Closed

Code: 33956 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CIT-02-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 16/05/2024 | End submission calls: 05/09/2024

Cities are increasingly taking a leading role in the green and digital transition. National and regional authorities have a key role to play to support cities ambition and facilitate the process.

The objective of this action is to strengthen existing national networks in Member States and Associated Countries as well as encourage and support the creation of such structures in countries where this has not yet taken place and empower them to act as clearly identifiable national contacts to support cities in pursuing their climate neutrality ambition and related targets.

Setting up a New European Bauhaus hub for results and impact

Closed

Code: 33954 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-NEB-01-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 07/05/2024 | End submission calls: 19/09/2024

A ‘New European Bauhaus hub for results and impacts’ is required to collect, centralise, manage, monitor and exploit the knowledge produced by the NEB projects, the NEB Community and other relevant NEB actions (e.g. projects resulting from EU-funded calls dedicated to NEB across the different EU programmes, NEB Lab) while also ensuring cooperation and collaboration between them. By having an overview of all the knowledge produced, the progress made, the challenges faced and the research gaps yet to overcome, the hub will be an agile instrument that will contribute to informing the implementation of the NEB Facility and will help to increase its impact. Ultimately, it will contribute to advancing the objectives of the NEB in a coherent manner.

New governance models for the co-design and co-construction of public spaces in neighbourhoods by communities

Closed

Code: 33951 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-NEB-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 07/05/2024 | End submission calls: 19/09/2024

Addressing societal challenges such as climate change, energy poverty, the pandemic, ageing population or the increased societal divide will require to rethink the way we develop and live in our neighbourhoods. It is key to empower people to take an active role in co-designing those spaces. This can lead to greater acceptance, enhanced sense of belonging, social trust and an increased willingness to further engage with the community, and thus promote a global positive social impact on people’s well-being and the neighbourhood as a whole.

Building on work carried out in previous projects, proposals will study, refine and validate existing engagement approaches, that allow residents, businesses, cultural organisations and local governments to co-design and co-create public spaces in neighbourhoods. For instance, this should include how to involve citizens in the development and maintenance of public spaces and neighbourhoods; or flexible designs allowing communities to re-create or re-furbish spaces according to evolving needs. Special attention should be paid to involve diverse groups and citizens at risk of exclusion.

Exploiting the potential of secondary bio-based products

Closed

Code: 33949 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-NEB-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 07/05/2024 | End submission calls: 19/09/2024

Although the NEB has been championing for the built environment, more research is needed on products that make use of secondary bio-based construction materials, such as from by-products or waste from other industries or processes, including bio-based composites and residues/by-products from agriculture or from fishing, aquaculture and agro-food industries, in line with the cascading principles. Using such products in the construction sector will reduce reliance on primary resources, hence minimising the environmental impact associated with their extraction and processing.

Proposals should increase the potential of innovative bio-based products making use of materials from secondary sources for construction applications, thereby enhancing the circular bio-based economy in the construction sector, in line with the NEB values and the cascading principles.

Improve design for transformative approaches and build local capacity for implementation of available solutions focused on climate adaptation

Closed

Code: 33947 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

Local adaptation to climate change measures should never be taken in isolation. They are part of the socio-economic fabric of the region and its bio-geographic constraints (for example, its position in a certain river basin, along a certain coastline or in mountainous areas).

This topic aims to better integrate the Mission on adaptation to climate change into the regional socio-economic policies and the just transition. This should be also coupled with raising the awareness of local authorities for co-creation opportunities between adaptation and other investments.

Research the complex interplay between the climate and biodiversity crises towards more systemic approaches and solutions

Closed

Code: 33944 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-04 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

Climate change and biodiversity loss are two interdependent crises that are complex, cascading, and compounding. Tackling them in an effective way must rely on a much more systemic approach than what has been achieved so far, which requires a better understanding of their interdependencies and feedback loops.

This topic is focused on the research of the complex interplay between the climate and biodiversity crises towards more systemic approaches and solutions.

Develop and refine outcome indicators to measure progress on climate resilience at national, regional and local levels, including knowledge and feedback developed from the Mission

Closed

Code: 33942 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

This topic aims at strengthening the EU’s capacity, knowledge, and involvement of relevant stakeholders in the monitoring and evaluation of current adaptation policies. It aims to facilitate policy, financial, corporate, and individual planning and decisions affecting resilience to climate impacts. Lessons learnt from currently available indicators, the literature, efforts underway surveying the use and prospects for indicators within the framework of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and feedback from the experience in the first years of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change work provide the basis for further developments.

Bringing together the national level with the engaged regional and local levels (multi-level governance)

Closed

Code: 33940 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-02 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

This topic focuses to bring together the national level with the engaged regional and local levels (multi-level governance).

The successful project is expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:

• The national relevant governance for innovation and climate adaptation is further engaged and mobilised to contribute to the objectives of the EU Mission on adaptation to climate change, and benefit from it.
• The EU Mission is deeply connected with national multi-level governance feeding into Member States, regions and local authorities’ efforts to implement the European Climate Law’s requirements on climate adaptation, and to further develop and update their national, regional and local adaptation plans.
• A set of ‘National Adaptation Hubs’ bridge the gap between the EU and regional/local levels, in the Adaptation mission and further disseminate the solutions emerging from the Mission to other regions and local authorities that are not Charter Signatories.
• A robust twinning scheme grouping of regions and local actors facing similar challenges ensures peer-learning and cross-fertilisation of experiences, further strengthening ongoing peer learning opportunities within the EU Mission, and also providing a tool to disseminate EU Mission’s knowledge beyond the regions and local authorities directly participating in the EU Mission.

Bringing available and actionable solutions for climate adaptation to the knowledge of the regions and local authorities

Closed

Code: 33938 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-MISS-2024-CLIMA-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Missions | Start submission calls: 24/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

This topic will focus to bring available and actionable solutions for climate adaptation to the knowledge of the regions and local authorities.

Analysing further, regional, local authorities are the target group of the proposed activities and the customers of the in-depth knowledge provision on solutions; as such they are not expected to participate as part of the consortium, but they should receive tailor made services from the project funded by this action, which should primarily use the Mission Implementation Platform’s channels to feed them with new information products, also based on the needs (already) expressed by them.
