On 16 January, ENVI and CONT Members held an exchange of views on the European Court of Auditors’ (ECA) Special Report on climate adaptation in the EU.
The ECA report highlights the increasing urgency of climate adaptation due to frequent and severe climate events, causing economic losses of €26 billion annually in the EU. It assesses the EU’s climate adaptation framework, national strategies, and EU-funded projects. Key findings include gaps in the use of scientific data, underutilisation of EU adaptation tools, and limited impact of some funded projects. Members had the opportunity to ask questions to the representative of the ECA on the latest findings outlined in the report. Members of the AGRI committee were also invited to participate in the joint ENVI-CONT meeting.
