European Climate Risk Assessment

11 Mar 2024

This assessment identifies 36 climate risks with potentially severe consequences across Europe. The risks are evaluated in the contexts of risk severity, policy horizon (lead time and decision horizon), policy readiness and risk ownership. It further identifies priorities for EU policy action, based on a structured risk assessment united with qualitative aspects, such as considering social justice. The knowledge in this first-of-its-kind assessment is synthesised with the aim to support strategic policymaking.
