Social fairness in preparing for climate change: how resilience can benefit communities across Europe

This report presents the latest available evidence on just resilience and addresses its evolving meaning, its current status in policy and planning at the EU, national and subnational levels and the priorities for action. It explores how just resilience is addressed and implemented in four key systems: the built environment, agriculture and food, water and transport.

The report provides recommendations for action such as:

• Make available dedicated funding or leverage existing funding.
• Explicitly integrate justice in national-level adaptation policies and laws
• Prioritise justice from the very beginning of the planning process.
