The proposal should address all of the following aspects:

• Support and closely cooperate with the ongoing Mission Implementation Platform, in close contact with the Mission’s Secretariat, to avoid duplications and by structurally analysing and summarising the good practices shared and discussed by regions and local authorities in the context of the Mission Implementation Platform’s Community of Practice, both as part of Community of Practice’s events and as part of the online discussion in the Mission Portal’s restricted webpages. Moreover, where possible, the project will seek to use existing channels to serve information products to Mission’s regions and local authorities so as to avoid duplications, namely using those established by the Mission Implementation Platform and in the Mission Portal.
• Seek cooperation with existing platforms and initiatives fostering climate adaptation in EU Member States and Associated Countries (in particular the Mission Portal hosted by the European Environment Agency, the NCP4missions and the TRAMI projects or followers). This is to avoid duplication of efforts and make sure Mission’s regions and local authorities have easy access to such information and communications products. In particular, any communications action should be integrated as much as possible into the existing Mission portal, in cooperation with the European Environment Agency. Moreover, particular attention should also be given to make appropriate links with the Joint Research Centre’s Risk Data Hub, if relevant.
• Produce a detailed inventory of adaptation solutions, in coordination with the Mission Implementation Platform, in which each solution should be classified according to how it could help to address the needs of the biogeographical zones or most recurring climate risks. The results of such an inventory should be made available, also leveraging the Mission Implementation Platform, to all local, regional and national players, so to facilitate their access to all scientific available previous knowledge. The solutions should be analysed, and their inventory structured in line with the Mission Implementation Plan’s approach (in particular, adopting a priority scope along the Plan’s “key community systems and enabling conditions”) in view of ensuring maximum coherence. These solutions should also be proactively promoted with the regions and local authorities participating in the Adaptation Mission.
• Local, regional and even national players who have already financed and/or experimented with solutions may also need to be given the opportunity to “publicize” effective solutions that can be scaled up or replicated elsewhere.
• Give particular attention to available solutions at National, regional and local levels, including those of cross-border nature.
• Develop multilingual operational information and communication products aiming at facilitating regions and local authorities’ understanding of the said solutions and their effectiveness, through a dedicated communications strategy tailored to the different target audiences within the regions and local authorities (in particular policy makers, practitioners and social partners). The proposals should also provide tools to support the authorities in the development and implementation of such solutions in their regional and local contexts (i.e., know-how).
• When bringing available solutions to the knowledge of the regions and of the local authorities, the proposal should also include a dedicated task aiming at feeding the EU policy cycle by identifying good practices that merit particular attention by EU policymakers in view of strengthening policy innovation in coming cycles (feedback to policy task).

It is expected that the project will have a duration of about 2 years.
