Brussels, 29 September 2025. – The European project LIFE COSTAdapta has been selected to take part in the European Week of Regions and Cities 2025 (EURegionsWeek), the largest annual EU event dedicated to regional and urban development.

In this context, on 25 November 2025, Gran Canaria will host the 1st Conference on Coastal Adaptation to Climate Change in Island Regions, organised by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the Finnova Foundation under the “EURegionsWeek close to you” programme.

The event will feature the participation of European institutional representatives, including a representative of the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), as well as an official welcome by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria.
