Description
2023 was the warmest year on record, reaching 1.48°C above pre-industrial levels. Europe is the fastest-warming continent on the planet and is experiencing more extreme heat, severe droughts, and increasingly frequent and intense flooding and forest fires. Not only do these extreme events cause social, economic and environmental damages, but they also impact water and food security, energy security, and long-term human health. Despite these threats, Europe's current policies and implemented adaptation actions will not be enough to mitigate the growing and interconnected impacts.
On Monday 4 November, the EGU will host the event, Evidence-informed planning for a new era of climate hazards at the TownHall Europe in Brussels.
This event will bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working on climate hazards to collectively discuss challenges that we are facing along with potential solutions. Following a high-level panel, moderated table discussions will enable participants working on similar thematic areas to share their experiences and connect on the best available scientific evidence and current or potential policy solutions. This co-creative process will enable participants to identify key areas of immediate and future action.
Due to limited space, in-person participation at this event is by invitation only.
