Invitation to participate: Training and Capacity Building for Cities

On behalf of the European Commission, the EU Cities Adapt project has the pleasure to invite cities to take part in the training phase of the project, aiming at building capacity on climate change adaptation in cities.

Submit your completed application form by 16 July 2012.

Your city will have the opportunity to benefit from a comprehensive capacity development package free of charge, including a training programme facilitated by experienced coaches with the result of developing a tailored adaptation strategy. The training will encompass:

  • Web-based tutorials
  • Workshops
  • City site visits
  • Coaching and peer exchanges
  • Access to a web-portal with tools
  • Guiding materials and a reference library
  • An interactive members' exchange forum


Adaptation champions, as well as to cities in the beginning of their adaptation journey are invited. Participation is free of charge. Please find detailed information on the training elements below.

The training phase will commence at the end of July. The first step will be for the selected cities to carry out an online self assessment to map out the current state of play with regard to the adaptive capacities. The webinars will start in September followed by workshops, coaching, peer reviewing and peer review visits all the way through to April 2013.

Twenty-one cities will be selected. For an application to be considered the city has to have participated in the survey of the project available here: http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=ASEC

Take this unique opportunity to receive free guidance, material and dedicated coaching to develop an extensive long-term adaptation strategy.
