As the planet continues to warm, climate hazards will intensify, bringing frequent, severe, persistent and far-reaching impacts. This could increasingly weaken Europe’s competitiveness, strain public budgets and increase security risks. Without adequate adaptation, impacts will compound, eroding and destabilising Europe’s economic and social foundations. Despite this, adaptation efforts to date remain insufficient to prevent avoidable impacts and to manage escalating climate risks.

Addressing climate risks requires combined and coordinated action across policy domains and governance levels. Local and national action is essential to drive adaptation. At the same time, adaptation efforts face many barriers, and many climate risks are transboundary, affecting critical services, cross-border supply chains, as well as financial and ecological systems. A stronger EU framework can provide coherence and long-term direction, facilitate cooperation and solidarity, and enable Member States to manage their climate risks more effectively.

Adaptation goes beyond climate policy. A robust EU adaptation framework is fundamental to addressing the systemic risks that threaten the security of critical services, food, water and energy, to providing the stability needed to invest in a competitive and innovative economy, and to protecting the health of EU citizens and ecosystems.
