EU Adaptation Strategy

The EU Adaptation Strategy¹ sets out the way forward to prepare for the unavoidable effects of climate change. Climate change is taking a toll not only on the economy but also on human health and well-being.

The Strategy focuses on four key objectives:

• Smarter adaptation: Using better data and tools to guide actions, such as protecting homes, businesses, and farms
• Faster adaptation: Developing solutions to reduce climate risks, enhance protection, and secure water resources
• More systemic adaptation: Addressing climate impacts across all sectors by integrating climate resilience into policies, supporting local actions, and promoting nature-based solutions
• Stepping up international action: Increasing global support, financing, and cooperation for climate resilience
