The ADAPT 2.0 ADAPT 2.0: Nature-based Solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the Western Balkans

Following the achievements of ADAPT: Nature-based Solutions for resilient societies in the Western Balkans, which showcased the effectiveness of NbS in tackling climate, disaster risk reduction and biodiversity challenges, ADAPT 2.0: Nature-based Solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the Western Balkans takes the next step by deepening knowledge, scaling up efforts, and fostering regional collaboration. The first phase laid a strong foundation through successful pilot projects, capacity-building initiatives, and policy engagement, setting the stage for broader impact in the Western Balkans. ADAPT 2.0 addresses critical climate and biodiversity challenges while delivering co-benefits such as disaster risk reduction, improved livelihoods, and strengthened ecosystems. By integrating NbS into regional development and policy frameworks, the project drives progress toward a sustainable, resilient, and nature-positive future for the Western Balkans. The initiative is supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Project title: ADAPT 2.0: Nature-based Solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in the Western Balkans
Project duration: September 2024 – August 2028
Total budget: € 2,371,229.00 (SEK 27 000 000 )
