Mission Stories showcase real-life examples of regional or local actions and good practices regarding the planning, funding, implementing and monitoring of climate adaptation solutions. They aim to inspire others to take action on climate adaptation.

While both the Mission Case Studies and the Mission Stories are about sharing experiences, Mission Stories are shorter and more accessible. Mission Case Studies offer a more extensive and thorough analysis of adaptation experiences in Europe.
