EU action against climate change: adapting to climate change
This paper suggests EU-level actions to be taken to integrate climate change adaptation needs into the EU’s domestic and external policies, improve knowledge about impacts through further research, and involve civil society and stakeholders in the development of adaptation strategies.
On the basis of responses received from a broad public consultation on this paper, the Commission aims to propose more concrete EU policy orientations for adaptation to climate change in a White Paper scheduled for publication by the end of 2008.
