Why is the EU Mission important?

As dangerous climate change looms, with global temperatures already rising over one degree since the industrial revolution, urgent action is needed to mitigate its impacts. Even with reductions in carbon emissions outlined in the Paris Agreement, we're on track for over a two-degree rise by the end of the century, exacerbating extreme weather events and impacting various sectors.

Implementing climate adaptation measures at regional and local levels is imperative to enhance resilience, emphasising the interconnectedness of mitigation and adaptation efforts to ensure effective response to climate change.
