Protecting People and Prosperity: Adoption of a Climate Risk Management Communication
|
|
The European Commission has adopted a pivotal Communication titled "Managing climate risks: Protecting people and prosperity" that outlines strategies to proactively address the escalating climate-related risks in the EU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It responds to the broad body of evidence, including the inaugural European Climate Risk Assessment, and emphasises that climate-related damages are influenced by known risks and policy responses. By prioritising solutions across societal systems, the proposals aim to enhance governance, provide essential tools, leverage structural policies, and establish conducive conditions for financing climate resilience.
