Abstract: Horizon Europe, The European Commission's new R&I program, has added a new instrument, Horizon Europe Missions. EU missions are commitments to solve some of the greatest challenges facing our world like fighting cancer, adapting to climate change, protecting our oceans, living in greener cities and ensuring soil health and food. In this talk I will present the Mission on Climate Change Adaptation and Societal Transformation, which aim is to prepare Europe for climate disruptions and accelerate the transformation to a climate resilient and just Europe by 2030. The talk will also reflect on the idea of “mission oriented science”, address some of the challenges in generating a feasible implementation plan, the collaborative nature of all the Missions, and the ambitions around engaging citizens throughout the process.
