Third Forum for the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change

Forum of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change
22-23 May 2024 | Brussels

The Third Forum of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change will take place on 23 May 2024 under the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

The annual forum is a major governance element of the Mission, convening national, regional and local authorities, European institutions, Charter Signatories, and Friends of the Mission. It provides a valuable opportunity to take stock, identify barriers and opportunities, and define the path ahead. The event will showcase regional initiatives on adaptation and enable dialogue between the community of participants.

The Forum will be a one-day hybrid event with streamlined plenary sessions. Parallel field trips highlighting various adaptation measures in Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels will take place the day before the forum, together with a joint networking event to conclude the day.
