Communication of the European Commission on the management of future climate risks: Have your say!
-
In response to the first ever European Climate Risk Assessment report, which the European Environment Agency (EEA) will publish in spring 2024, the European Commission will draw up a Communication on how to manage the climate risks identified in the report. The aim is to ensure that policymakers can make explicit and informed decisions about the acceptability of risks and the trade-offs involved in mitigating them. Notably, the Communication will identify areas that are key to addressing these climate risks in the Commission's future work programmes, multiannual programmes, and policy proposals.
