Supporting Europe in adapting to climate change
Climate change is affecting European society. It intensifies floods, droughts, extreme temperatures, storms, water scarcity and sea level rise, substantially increasing the risk and impact of climate related events. With the EU Adaptation Strategy and more recently the European Green Deal, Europe is aiming at becoming more climate resilient and works towards a sustainable green transition. Achieving this ambition requires concerted actions on local to national level, supported by complementing activities at the European level. It also requires that climate adaptation is integrated into a broad range of sectoral policies.
