The report, prepared for the European Topic Centres and published on the EIONET portal, explores how future exposure and vulnerability to climate-related health risks in Europe can be assessed more credibly. Building on the European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), the report proposes a hybrid approach that combines SSP-consistent quantitative projections with qualitative, expert- and policy-grounded reasoning. The aim is not “better scenarios”, but better use of scenarios, recognising that neither models nor narratives are sufficient on their own. The report includes a worked example for health-related indicators and an overview of available Europe-wide SSP datasets, with relevance for national agencies and policy practitioners.
