MIP4Adapt has launched a new DIY Stakeholder and Citizen Engagement Manual to support local authorities in increasing citizen and stakeholder engagement in climate change adaptation efforts. The handbook provides a practical guide to engaging citizens and stakeholders in every phase of climate change adaptation planning, from land preparation for adaptation to monitoring and evaluation.

By actively involving communities, regional and local authorities can develop strategies that better reflect local needs and interests. Citizen participation also fosters a sense of responsibility and commitment, making adaptation efforts more sustainable in the long term. When stakeholders engage, they contribute valuable knowledge and resources, creating shared ownership and broad support for climate action. (More on climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu)
