Members of the Grant Office “Odesa 5T” participated in the Pathways2Resilience Summit 2026.

The first day of the Summit marked an important transition point: the completion of Cohort 1 and the official launch of Cohort 2 within the Pathways2Resilience initiative. The event brought together 100 European regions, EU representatives, experts, and stakeholders in the field of climate adaptation.

The day's program began with the next steps of the initiative. During the thematic “Reflection Circles,” Cohort 1 regions summarized their achievements and developments, while Cohort 2 held an introductory session on the Regional Resilience Journey (RRJ) and Adaptation Investment Cycle (AIC) methodologies and approaches to capacity building.

The afternoon featured “Bridging cohorts” sessions, a space for sharing experiences between the two waves of regions, as well as “Legacy clinics” dedicated to the transfer of knowledge and practical tools. Special attention was paid to developing partnerships and finding synergies for further cooperation.

The first day laid a solid foundation for further discussions and joint work on strengthening the climate resilience of European regions.
