The National Information Hub for Climate Change was designed within the framework of the completed project “LIFE-IP AdaptInGR — Boosting the implementation of adaptation policy across Greece”, which is the most important project for the adaptation of Greece to the effects of climate change and is co-financed by the LIFE Program of the European Union and the Green Fund.

Specifically, the project aspires to boost the implementation of the National Strategy and the 13 Regional Plans for Adaptation to Climate Change, during the current 1st climate change adaptation cycle (2016–2025). Moreover, it aspires to prepare the transition to the 2nd adaptation policy cycle (2026+), with appropriate actions at national, regional and local level.
