New EEA report highlights the need to intensify actions to adapt to climate change impacts
Published the European Environment Agency (EEA) Report
The newly published report ‘Impacts of Europe’s changing climate’, by EEA, WHO and EC Joint Research Centre, stresses the consequences of both observed and projected changes, including an increased risk of floods and droughts, losses of biodiversity, threats to human health and damage to economic sectors such as energy, transport, forestry, agriculture, and tourism. It highlights that vulnerability to climate change varies widely across regions and sectors in Europe: the main vulnerable areas in Europe are mountainous regions, coastal zones, the Mediterranean and the Arctic.
