Capacity Building Programme for Climate Adaptation Finance

Developing the skills, knowledge and tools needed to turn climate adaptation priorities into finance-ready action.

It brings together CLIMATEFIT’s training resources, e-learning modules and practical guidance to help Public Authorities and Financial & Investment Entities turn resilience priorities into finance-ready action.

What is Project Result 2?

The CLIMATEFIT Capacity Building Programme supports Public Authorities and Financial & Investment Entities in strengthening their ability to design, assess and finance climate adaptation projects.

This result combines training materials, practical guidance and digital learning tools to help stakeholders better understand climate adaptation finance, investment planning and collaboration mechanisms between public and financial actors.

Designed for both immediate use within the project and long-term reuse beyond it, the programme provides a practical learning pathway to support more mature and investable climate resilience initiatives across Europe.

At the core of this result is the CLIMATEFIT e-learning platform, which offers dedicated learning modules and training resources for key stakeholder groups.
