JRC study: Coastal adaptation against sea level rise makes economic sense
Coastal zones in Europe contain large human populations, significant socio-economic activities and assets, and fragile ecosystems. Coastal communities will face increasing risk of floods as climate change could cause extreme sea levels to rise with one meter or more by 2100. Coastal adaptation, however, could prevent 95% of the projected economic losses.

Drought Risk Atlas with novel approach to assess drought risks and support drought management
The European Drought Risk Atlas provides for the first time a comprehensive assessment and mapping of drought risks and impacts in the EU for a global warming of 1.5, 2 and 3 degrees. The Atlas uses an innovative approach to address the complex characteristics of drought hazards, risks and impacts. The Atlas reveals that the current levels of drought risk are significantly high, with average annual losses posing both economic and environmental threats. The atlas aims to support the development and implementation of drought management and adaptation policies and actions across the European Union.

Global warming could more than double costs caused by drought in Europe
In the absence of action to limit and adapt to climate change, the impact of droughts on Europe’s economy could reach over €65 billion a year by 2100, according to a Joint Research Centre study published in Nature Climate Change.
