The European Environment Agency has identified 36 major climate risks in Europe, with an urgent call for immediate action on more than half of them.

The European Commission's strategy for managing climate risks includes measures such as improved governance and mobilization of finance, but faces criticism for lacking concrete actions.

Critics demand more urgent measures, including the proposal for a Climate Resilience Law, in response to Europe's rapid warming and record-breaking temperatures.

The European Commission's Communication is seen as insufficient, failing to tackle root causes like intensive agriculture and overexploitation of water resources.

There is a call for a new EU climate adaptation framework that emphasizes nature-based solutions and provides more effective guidance for Member States.

The postponement of the EU Communication on water resilience has sparked a demand for a nature-based water resilience initiative to be prioritized before the 2024 EU elections.
