Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supports the transition to a climate-neutral and resilient economy by funding projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and foster adaptation to climate impacts. Areas include&nbsp;sustainable&nbsp;farming&nbsp;and&nbsp;land use, renewable energy, urban adaptation, water&nbsp;management&nbsp;and&nbsp;preparation&nbsp;to&nbsp;extreme climate events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Clean Energy Transition <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Builds on&nbsp;previous&nbsp;EU energy&nbsp;programmes&nbsp;to drive the shift toward a renewable, energy-efficient&nbsp;and
