The climate crisis is severely affecting Europe's forests, making them increasingly vulnerable to hazards like storms, wildfires, droughts, insect and disease outbreaks, or sea level rise. The growing risks and impacts are affecting the economic viability of forestry and they reduce the capacity of forests to provide essential ecosystem services. The EU responds to this unprecedented challenge by supporting the adaptation of forests to climate change through a wide range of policies, like the EU Forest Strategy, EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, and the EU Biodiversity Strategy.
EU funding of adaptation
The EU finances adaptation to climate change in Europe through a wide range of instruments. The Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 ensures that at least 25% of the European budget is climate-related expenditure. Therefore, Climate adaptation actions have to be integrated into all the major EU spending programmes, and a tracking system is put in place to guarantee these objectives are met.
