The Summer Olympic Games in 2024 will take place during the apex of the temperature seasonal cycle in the Paris Area. The mid-latitudes of the Northern hemisphere have witnessed a f…
This is the fourth Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK report, which provides evidence, analysis and recommendations based on climate change projections for the UK. Our changing climate will be the backdrop upon which our governments and health and social care organisations will need to ensure health security in the 21st century. This includes no…
This study investigates the possible effects of climate change on temperature and precipitation variables in the Eastern Black Sea Basin, Türkiye’s wettest and flood-prone region. The outputs of three General circulation models (GCMs) under historical, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios were downscaled to regional scale using the multivariate adaptive regress…
The study provides assessment of the penetration of climate change induced carbonation in the concrete cover of the existing buildings in the EU Member States. It estimates the time for on-set of corrosion due to depletion of the cover of the reinforcement, and evaluates the repair costs under the moderate emissions scenario RCP4.5, and under the extrem…
The report provides descriptions and analysis of climate conditions and variations from across the Earth system, key events and their impacts, and a discussion of climate policy and action with a focus on human health. The ESOTC also includes updates on the long-term evolution of key Climate Indicators. In 2023, the impacts of climate change continued t…
This Regional Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2023: Europe and Central Asia proposes that three broad, interconnected risk drivers characterize the complexity of managing risk in the region: climate change and environmental degradation; interconnected and complex economies, societies and infrastructure; and changing demographics. These…
This paper provides quantitative evidence on the geography of regional readiness to tackle climate change using data from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain. Following Cappellano et al. (2022), we estimate a composite indicator that reports the situation of regions in these countries between 2009 and 2020 regarding the directionality of their Sci…
This spotlight seeks to include data on climate change, finance policy and outcomes for children, including data on SDG progress and government spending on education, health, social protection and food security and nutrition. Save the Children’s series of National Data Snapshots exploring data on the climate and inequality crisis is a collection of coun…
This policy brief presents adaptation strategies that are being implemented across Europe to strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change. Health system resilience is an essential component of adaptation. The European Union (EU) Commission launched the Next Generation EU COVID-19 Recovery Fund for Member States that include funding a…
The paper builds on CASCADES research which examines the impacts of climate change on trade, investments, sustainable development and human security in the European neighbourhood, with a view to inform European policies and improve interregional cooperation. The scenarios presented in this paper have been co-developed with 30 experts from the region, re…
This paper reviews the implications of climate change for current emergency planning, and for emergency planning as an adaptation to climate change, using the UK as an example. Heatwaves, droughts and wildfires in 2022 raised questions about how prepared the UK is for extreme events and how they might become more frequent in the future.
The evidence in…
This paper examines how climate change impacts affect people in different ways, with some members of society finding it more demanding to adapt to changing climate conditions. Managing climate change adaptation and transition to a climate-resilient society in a just and inclusive manner requires an awareness about which conditions could generate injusti…
The Climate Change Committee (CCC) commissioned Frontier Economics and Paul Watkiss Associates to produce an assessment of barriers that are preventing investment in climate change adaptation in the United Kingdom. This report presents the findings of a rapid literature review, a set of case studies to provide context specific assessments of barriers an…
The State of the Climate in Europe report, produced jointly with the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, focused on 2021. It provides information on rising temperatures, land and marine heatwaves, extreme weather, changing precipitation patterns and retreating ice and snow.
Temperatures over Europe have warmed significantly over the 199…
This report makes recommendations on how Nordics can better address transboundary climate risks (TCRs) together. These include a joint research programme, raising awareness and engaging with the private sector.
Climate impacts can hit countries directly, as with floods and forest fires, but can also cascade over borders. As open economies, the Nor…
