EC-EIB Adaptation Days” event on 5-6 June 2025

The European Investment Bank and the European Commission hosted the second edition of the “EC-EIB Adaptation Days” event on 5-6 June 2025. This event builds on the success of its inaugural edition, continuing its mission to address the pressing need for climate adaptation amidst escalating global warming impacts.

This year’s event is organized under the auspices of the UN Oceans Conference and focused on the critical theme of Coastal Resilience. The conference convened approximately 150 global experts to exchange strategies, innovative solutions, and financing opportunities for adaptation projects in coastal areas. The target audience included local public authorities of coastal cities and regions, urban planning and regional development professionals, port authorities, and climate experts in the field of adaptation and coastal resilience globally.

The Technical Masterclass on 5 June and the Conference on 6 June  served as a platform to highlight key themes focused on practical approaches on applying proactive adaptation, how to integrate these measures into planning, financing, and implementation processes. The event highlighted the EIB and EC’s unwavering commitment to supporting climate adaptation through increased funding, advisory services, and fostering policy alignment.
