The Port of Klaipeda and its partners were among the first 40 regions in Europe selected to participate in the EU-funded Pathways2Resilience project. The project aims to increase the resilience of regions to climate change and adapt to new environmental conditions. The participants also include the Klaipeda Region Association, the Klaipeda Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Association of Lithuanian Stevedoring Companies and UAB MC Baltics.
The project will develop a climate resilience strategy for the Port of Klaipeda, as well as an action and investment plan. The project is funded by the European Union in the amount of 210 thousand euros and will last for 18 months. The Port of Klaipeda was selected from 164 applicants representing regions and communities seeking to increase their resilience to climate change.
The P2R project is supported by the European Union’s Horizon programme, which aims to adapt regions to climate change. A total of 100 regions in Europe will receive funding of 21 million euros to implement similar initiatives.
