EEA Climate Impact and Preparedness Portal

The Climate Impact and Preparedness Portal of the European Environment Agency is an interactive platform that shows how climate hazards such as heatwaves, floods, droughts, and wildfires are affecting Europe. Through maps and visualisations, it presents past trends, future projections, and examples of adaptation and preparedness across the continent. The portal aims to inform policymakers and the public, raise awareness of climate risks, and support efforts to mitigate impacts and strengthen societal resilience.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select a key climate hazard or preparedness topic in Europe.
  • Explore maps and visualisations across countries, regions, cities and local areas.
  • Review historical trends, current conditions, future projections and adaptation examples.

Output

  • Maps, graphs and explanatory narratives.
  • Visual information on hazards, exposure, vulnerability and impacts.
  • Adaptation and preparedness examples across Europe.

Use it to

  • Understand how major climate hazards affect Europe.
  • Explore exposure and vulnerability across territories.
  • Identify preparedness and adaptation examples.
  • Support awareness-raising, risk assessment and monitoring discussions.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Brings hazard, impact, vulnerability and preparedness information together through accessible storytelling designed for policymakers and the public. It helps users connect climate trends and projections with exposed systems and practical adaptation examples, supporting early risk assessment and awareness-raising rather than detailed local modelling or option appraisal.

Used in

  • European climate-impact and preparedness communication.
  • Comparison of hazards and impacts across countries, NUTS regions, cities and local areas.
  • Use by European, national and subnational authorities, researchers, NGOs and citizens.
  • 2026 version reported as available from 11 June 2026.
