1 Societal Challenge 5 'Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials' Focus Area 'Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future' Anastasios Kentarchos Deputy Head of Unit Unit I4: Climate Change and Earth Observation DG Research & Innovation

2 Focus Area 'Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future' Covers the main actions in Work Programme which can contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement limit global temperature rise to well below 2 C, make efforts to limit this to 1.5 C; enhance adaptive capacity, strengthening resilience and reducing vulnerabilities; Aims to develop groundbreaking solutions capable of achieving carbon neutrality and climate resilience of Europe and beyond in the second half of the century Integrating multiple angles of society, economy, technology, industrial value chains, the energy system, environment, health, land use and governance Total indicative budget ( ): EUR million

3 'Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future' Focus Area Operationalise the Paris Agreement goals (including input to the IPCC's 6 th Assessment Report) Accelerate transformation towards carbon neutrality through clean technologies Objectives Enhance climate resilience in Europe and beyond Contribute to long-term mitigation and adaptation policy planning
