The Water Directors of the Member States and the European Commission adopted a guidance document to align river basin management planning with climate adaptation, with special attention to the Water Framework Directive and the Floods Directive. This guidance aims to help water managers to integrate adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change, such as the increase of intensity and frequency of intensive rainfall, prolonged droughts, and heat waves as well as slow-onset changes like warming, spread of invasive species and sea level rise, with special attention to nature-based solutions, cross-border/transboundary aspects, as well as the climate check of measures.
