EU Adaptation Strategy

The Strategy aims to build a climate resilient society by improving knowledge of climate impacts and adaptation solutions; by stepping up adaptation planning and climate risk assessments; by accelerating adaptation action; and by helping to strengthen climate resilience globally. It pursues three objectives and proposes a range of actions in order to meet them:

• Smarter adaptation: Improving knowledge and manage uncertainty; including:
  • Pushing the frontiers of adaptation knowledge;
  • More and better climate loss data; and
  • Enhancing and expanding Climate-ADAPT as the European platform for adaptation knowledge.
• More systemic adaptation: Supporting policy development at all levels and all relevant policy fields; including three cross-cutting priorities to integrate adaptation into:
  • Macro-fiscal policy;
  • Nature-based solutions; and
  • Local adaptation actions.
• Faster adaptation: Speed up adaptation implementation across the board.
