EUROPE IS NOT PREPARED FOR RAPIDLY GROWING CLIMATE RISKS

Extreme heat, drought, wildfires, and flooding, as experienced in recent years,
will worsen in Europe even under optimistic global warming scenarios and affect
living conditions throughout the continent. The EEA has published the first
ever European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA) to help identify policy priorities
for climate change adaptation and for climate-sensitive sectors.

According to the assessment, Europe’s policies and adaptation actions are not
keeping pace with the rapidly growing risks. In many cases, incremental
adaptation will not be sufficient and, as many measures to improve climate
resilience require a long time, urgent action may be needed even on risks that
are not yet critical. 

More on our assessment



DECIDING ON EUROPE’S DIRECTION

> Saving energy and investing in renewables boosts Europe’s competitiveness and
> makes us less dependent on imported fossil fuels. Safeguarding nature and
> reducing pollution will improve people’s health and long-term security of food
> production. Accelerating progress towards circular economy will save resources
> and help secure critical raw materials. There are still many very good reasons
> to continuing and accelerating the green transition in Europe as it supports
> our security, competitiveness and people’s well-being.
