Bridging the gap between disaster risk management and climate adaptation
Overview
This summary presents an overview of the Horizon Europe funding opportunity titled HORIZON-MISS-2026-01-CLIMA-04. The call focuses on bridging the gap between climate adaptation and disaster risk management communities at the European level. It aims to strengthen collaboration in response to climate change challenges, offering a total funding amount of €5 million as a lump sum grant to a single awarded consortium.
Eligible applicants include a variety of entities such as research organizations, universities, public authorities, private companies, non-profit organizations, and international organizations from EU Member States and associated countries. The opportunity encourages participation from multiple countries within the EU to facilitate cross-border knowledge transfer, particularly targeting vulnerable regions.
Applicants must form a consortium that collaborates with established networks like the Mission Implementation Platform and the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network. Projects are expected to operate at the validation, demonstration, and knowledge exchange stages, focusing on coordination, support, and capacity building rather than new research or innovation.
The funding is aimed at several key activities, including producing guidelines for regional and local authorities on integrated risk management policies, facilitating a common understanding of climate risks, and organizing European Climate Change Adaptation Conferences in 2028 and 2030. The application process consists of a single-stage submission, opening on February 4, 2026, and closing on September 23, 2026.
While co-funding is not mandatory, proposals are encouraged to explore integration with complementary funding sources. Evaluation results are typically communicated within five months of the deadline, with grant agreements finalized approximately eight months later. Success rates are expected to be low due to high competition, as only one grant is anticipated.
Overall, this initiative is part of the EU's broader strategy on climate adaptation and aims to enhance resilience in communities through improved collaboration, knowledge sharing, and multi-governance approaches.

Detail
This EU funding opportunity aims to bridge the gap between disaster risk management and climate adaptation. It falls under the Horizon Europe (HORIZON) program, specifically the call supporting the implementation of the Adaptation to Climate Change Mission (HORIZON-MISS-2026-1). The type of action is HORIZON-CSA, which stands for HORIZON Coordination and Support Actions. The Model Grant Agreement (MGA) type is HORIZON Lump Sum Grant [HORIZON-AG-LS].
This is a forthcoming opportunity with a single-stage deadline model. The planned opening date is 04 February 2026, and the deadline for submission is 23 September 2026 at 17:00:00 Brussels time.
The expected outcome of successful proposals is to contribute to the implementation of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, the Preparedness Union Strategy, and the upcoming European Climate Adaptation Plan. This will be achieved by facilitating interaction between actors in Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management at European, national, and regional levels.
Proposals should contribute to the following outcomes:
Bringing together the Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management communities at the European level to develop inter- and transdisciplinary methodological approaches, constructing and disseminating joint knowledge.
Enhancing the knowledge and understanding of the common aspects for Disaster Risk Management preparedness and climate change adaptation, including the question of responsibility and accountability.
Aligning the terminology and understanding of the risks and the possible solutions for Disaster Risk Management and Adaptation, thereby improving local resilience to climate change.
The scope of the action involves strengthening collaboration between the Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management communities. This will enable the Mission and the Disaster Risk Management community to disseminate their innovative solutions in support of the implementation of the EU Preparedness Union Strategy and the upcoming European Climate Adaptation Plan. This action aligns with the recommendation from the Niinistö report to create stronger structural links between research, innovation, and deployment.
Project activities should address the following areas:
Facilitate a common understanding of climate risks and possible solutions and improve the exchange of knowledge and cooperation.
Produce guidelines and recommendations for regional and local authorities to define and implement integrated risks management policies that fully account for climate adaptation.
Identify and harvest knowledge and solutions relevant for both communities from related Horizon Europe projects, other EU funding programs such as UCPM, Interreg, LIFE, or legacy projects from Horizon 2020. Particular attention should be given to projects funded by Horizon Europe’s calls of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change and Cluster 3: Disaster-Resilient Society (CL3-DRS) and by UCPM’s calls of Knowledge for Action in Prevention and Preparedness.
Implement a multi-governance approach that will also help disseminate existing knowledge beyond the regions directly served by the Mission, via the National Adaptation Hubs. In this context, the proposal should map relevant stakeholders and identify the right grouping and pairing of participants to bring the knowledge they acquired by participating in an EU funded projects to other regions in the EU, with particular attention to the inclusion and needs of vulnerable regions.
Support and closely cooperate with the ongoing Mission Implementation Platform (in close contact with the Mission Secretariat), the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network (and its Secretariat), as well as the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS) and its Disaster Resilient Societies (DRS) platform to avoid duplications of activities. This includes relying on existing activities of the Commission’s Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre, of MIP4Adapt and the project funded under HORIZON-MISS-2026-01-CLIMA-01 with a view to strengthen cooperation.
Organize European Climate Change Adaptation Conferences (ECCA) in 2028 and 2030, in consultation with the European Commission.
