The increase in natural disasters and extreme weather events in the EU has highlighted the importance of climate change mitigation. Common indicator 4 shows the number of people benefiting from protection measures against climate related natural disasters.
It captures the increased resilience against floods, wildfires and other climate related natural risks achieved by support under the RRF.
The indicator contributes to pillar 1 (green transition) and pillar 4 (social and territorial cohesion).
This graph shows the population benefitting from protection measures against climate related disasters. This indicator is a stock indicator, which means that numbers are added cumulatively, and its values can only increase over time.
