This event will invite a series of mission cities and mission regions in Spain and across the EU to present their first-hand experience as missionaries on the implementation of city decarbonisation and climate change adaptation

Objectives:

  • According to the EU, “Missions are a new way to bring concrete solutions to some of our greatest climate change challenges. Missions have ambitious goals and aim to deliver concrete results by 2030
  • Our session will give special attention to the Mission on Adaptation and the Mission on Carbon Neutral Cities. One of the main aims has been to put research and innovation into action, combined with new forms of governance and collaboration, as well as by engaging citizens”.
  • The EU Missions are a novelty of the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme for the years 2021-2027, with a coordinated effort by the Commission to pool the necessary resources in terms of policies and regulations.
  • This session will reflect on the experience first-hand  so far in the deployment of these missions by talking directly to cities and regions.
  • In a dialogue with regional and local authorities, research institutes, and entrepreneurs we will look at current initiatives to create real and lasting impact.
  • Our dialogue will consider questions around: How are missions supporting Europe’s transformation into a greener, healthier, more inclusive and resilient continent? How are Missions helping to engage with citizens to boost societal uptake of new solutions and approaches ? How can missions bring tangible benefits to people and engage in their design, implementation and monitoring?
  • Final summary: Key takeaways for enhancing ambition? Key takeaways for enabling actions?
