Mayors adapt - 29.06.2015

Learn from your peers how to implement climate adaptation projects
Mayors adapt, the initiative on adaptation to climate change, is calling to cities to participate in a twinning program. This initiative aims to accelerate the implementation of adaptation projects through the exchange of good practices, for instance, by stimulating a municipality to travel to another one to understand how the latter tackled the climate hazards.

If you are interested, be quick to register as only 20 cities will be selected to participate from 2015 to 2016.

The deadline for application is 3 August 2015. Further information you can contact the Mayors adapt helpdesk.
