Overview of accessibility of the climate change adaptation finance data in Europe

The report examines the availability and accessibility of data on the financing of climate adaptation measures in Europe. The aim is to develop an in-depth understanding of the challenges and existing practices in collecting and analyzing this data in order to promote effective adaptation strategies.

In conclusion, the report offers concrete recommendations for methodological improvements and the need for regular monitoring of adaptation finance. These include:

• Draft a briefing - It is important to assess benefits and costs of adaptation as the basis for decision-making and prioritising adaptation actions and incentives and support efficient measures in the context of their positive impact on society as a whole.
• Regular monitoring - This second part of Phase 2 could examine lessons learned in this exploratory Phase 1, culminating in recommendations to the EEA on how to improve their data collection in the future and contribute to a regular, more systematised monitoring of adaptation finance data in Europe.
