Proposal for an ESPON 2030 Programme Thematic Action Plan (TAP) on - ‘Adapting to the impacts of climate change’

20 Jan 2023

The TAP “Adapting to the impacts of climate change” aims to support these endeavours by providing territorial evidence on climate change-related challenges and development opportunities, and providing options for regions and cities to adapt to the impacts of climate change with the aim of promoting societal health and wellbeing. [...] The update of the ESPON CLIMATE project (2022) has produced evidence to show that climate change is already generating numerous impacts on society and the environment in Europe today and is having, and will continue to bring territorially asymmetric consequences, with peripheral regions being hit first and hardest due to higher vulnerability and reduced adaptive capacity. [...] The ESPON-TITAN has developed methodologies to analyse the distribution and territorial patterns of the economic impacts of the natural hazards across Europe, including climate hazards, as place-based evidence to support the identification of the most vulnerable regions. [...] • Promotes cross-sectoral networking and involvement of civil societies in cross-cutting actions in relation to adaptation to the impacts of climate change and transforming territories to adapt to climate. [...] Policy needs: - Which are the main challenges and constraints in your country/region/territories to adapt to the impacts of climate change? - Do you need any specific evidence and/or support to better analyse these challenges and be able to identify the opportunities and incorporate climate adaptation in the strategies for your territory? - Are climate adaptation and ecosystem/biodiversity protect.
