The IPBES Workshop Report on Biodiversity and Pandemics is a scientifically robust examination of the evidence and knowledge about links between pandemic risk and nature since the COVID-19 pandemic began - with the contributions of 22 of the world's leading experts from different fields (e.g

EEA Report No 10/2020

Water is a precondition for human, animal and plant life – but climate change poses a threat to the world’s water supply, with many regions at risk of severe drought. An EU-funded project has developed a membrane inspired by nature’s own technology to sustainably secure safe and clean water for all

Context The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) transmits vector-borne diseases, such as dengue and chikungunya. Environmental factors such as temperature and rainfall impact the survival chance and seasonal activity of the tiger mosquito which is a serious threat for human health in Europe

Context The Canadian Fire Weather Index System (FWI) is used to assess fire danger in a harmonized way across Europe. The FWI uses information about fuel moisture and weather conditions to determine fire behaviour

Global agricultural trade has increased significantly in value terms since 2000. Its pattern has also changed – emerging economies and developing countries play a bigger role in international markets, and South–South agricultural trade has expanded significantly

Context The mean radiant temperature (MRT) is a human biometeorology parameter that is used to assess the linkages between the outdoor environment and human well‐being. Thermal comfort indices describe how the human body experiences atmospheric conditions, specifically air temperature, humidity, wind and radiation

Context A health-related heatwave is a prolonged period of extremely high temperature and humidity for a particular region during which daily minima and maxima both exceed thresholds. Heatwaves with high humidity are problematic for human health and well-being

Context The universal thermal climate index (UTCI) is a human biometeorology parameter that is used to assess the linkages between outdoor environment and human well‐being. Thermal comfort indices describe how the human body experiences atmospheric conditions, specifically air temperature, humidity, wind and radiation

The objective of OPERANDUM is to reduce hydro-meteorological risks in European territories through co-designed, co-developed, deployed, tested and demonstrated innovative green and blue/grey/hybrid NBS, and push business exploitation. It aims for provision of science-evidence for the usability of NBS, and best practices for their design based on participatory processes

The AGROMIX project aims to deliver participatory research to drive the transition to a resilient and efficient land use in Europe. It focuses on practical agroecological solutions for farm and land management and related value chains

SUPROMED aims to enhance the economic and environmental sustainability of Mediterranean farming systems through a more efficient management of water, energy and fertilizers. SUPROMED will provide a holistic crop-livestock water management system resilient to climate change

A report investigating the need for more models and tools for rapid analysis, to support decision making on climate change adaptation across Europe.

A selection of recommended approaches to analysis and modelling of climate change adaptation, aimed at improving the knowledge base that underpins the decision-making on adaptation at various levels of governance.

This comprehensive desk review aims to address the European Commissions’ requirement to support better-informed decision making on climate adaptation at multiple governance levels.

Biodiversity, the unique variety of life on our planet, underpins our economy and well-being. However, climate change has been identified as one of the top five direct drivers of biodiversity loss

Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an unprecedented rate across the planet putting a great number of species on the brink of extinction. A decline in the plants, animals and micro-organisms threatens food security, sustainable development and the supply of vital ecosystem services

Context The daily maximum temperature index provides information on long-term climate variability and change. Temperature plays a fundamental role in agricultural productivity, biodiversity and public health

Context The precipitation sum provides information on possible water shortage or excess. Definition The precipitation sum index is expressed as a percentage change in total precpitation relative to a reference period

Context The daily mean temperature index provides information on long-term climate variability and change. Temperature plays a fundamental role in agricultural productivity, biodiversity and public health

Context The daily minimum temperature index provides information on long-term climate variability and change. Temperature plays a fundamental role in agricultural productivity, biodiversity and public health

Context The biologically effective degree days index provides information about the growing season. Definition The biologically effective degree days (°C) index is the sum of daily mean temperatures above 10°C and less than 30°C for a given period

Context The mean sea level index informs an understanding of European coastal hydrodynamics under the impact of climate change. It provides added value for various coastal sectors and studies such as port, shipping, and coastal management with particular relvance to coastal management

Context Snow indices for Europe can be used to characterize the operating conditions of winter ski resorts under future climate scenarios. They are used in the assessment of snow reliability for mountainous regions across Europe

Context The number of frost days provides information on frost damage. Definition A frost day is when the daily minimum temperature is less than 0°C

Context A climatological heatwave is a prolonged period of extremely high temperature for a particular region that exceeds a maximum threshold. Heatwaves have consequences for health, agriculture, power, wildfire and infrastructure
