Periodic Reporting for period 1 - P2R (Pathways2Resilience: Co-developing pathways towards Climate resilient regions in Europe)
Berichtszeitraum: 2023-01-01 bis 2024-06-30
The Pathways2Resilience (P2R) project is supporting the Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change (Mission Adaptation) objectives by empowering at least 100 regions and communities to co-design resilience pathways and innovation agendas to become climate resilient by 2030. This support consists of €21 million to be distributed across 100 regions and communities via two call cycles, in addition to a range of support services and capacity-building activities to support the development of the resilience pathways and innovation agendas. P2R has developed a framework to support regions in their work to adapt and build resilience to climate change, the Regional Resilience Journey (RRJ). The RRJ is part of a larger framework on transformative climate adaptation, concentrating on the planning phase. The RRJ consists of multiple steps, each containing different expected activities and outcomes, as well as pointing to different methods and tools that can be used. The RRJ is an adaptable framework that helps regions to move from incremental to transformative adaptation. The framework provides step-by-step guidance, activities, tools, and milestones that allow regions to produce their climate resilience plans and innovation portfolios by applying a systemic approach, just transition principles, and harnessing transformative innovation.
The project, coordinated by CKIC, gathers 14 partners from 10 different countries. The structure of participating partners covers a variety of stakeholders active in climate adaptation planning.

Below is the recap of main achievements in the first 18 months of project implementation, per Work Package:
WP1 focused on building a resilience maturity curve framework and a self-assessment tool and drafted a P2R learning and impact approach. These documents would allow selected regions to evaluate their readiness for transformative climate change adaptation.
WP2 focused on engaging and mobilising regions and communities for the first P2R call for applicants. During the first reporting period, WP2 conducted a successful seven-month campaign that directly reached over 200 regions and communities across Europe, resulting in the selection of the first 40 regions.
WP3 designed, launched and ran the first sub-grant call, leading to the conclusion of the selection process and awarding of the sub-grants in the second reporting period.
WP4 produced a report on the mapping and analysis of key enabling conditions (for climate resilience) that would apply to different regional and local contexts. This will be the knowledge base for the start of the Deep Dives sessions.
WP5 started by referencing and classifying systemic barriers (technological, socio-cultural, economical...) and solutions (fintech, accelerators..) to bridge the adaptation finance gap. This work was completed by a rigourous catalogue review of the literature on financial sources and instruments for adaptation finance, complemented with the analytical foundations for a Regional Adaptation Investment Plan. Both documents would be used by regions to facilitate their resilience journey (RRJ).
WP6 realised several documents aiming to facilitate regional decision-making regarding climate change adaptation. This was done by addressing key concepts such as adaptation pathways, Multiple Resilience Dividends (MRD) and by mapping methodologies for innovation agendas.
WP7 started to develop a capacity building program including a calendar of activities, training sessions, key deliverable aligments and other strong components which harmonise the results brought by technical and financial WP4, 5 and 6.
WP8 Communication launched the P2R website, the key digital tool of Pathways2Resilience, which is updated on a regular basis with project news, articles and events. Additionally, the Pathways2Resilience social media channels, LinkedIn, and X, further amplifies the great job that WP8 has done in promoting the overall project. Internally, WP8 designed and created templates and guidelines to align all the content, facilitating communication between partners but also future exchanges with the regions.
WP9 Project management ensured the smooth running and coordination of the project, and first interactions with MIP4Adapt, sister projects, and external experts.

It is too early in the project to talk about results beyond the state of the art.
