Editorial

Since 2012, Climate-ADAPT supports and drives EU adaptation policy and practice. In line with the 2022-2024 Climate-ADAPT strategy, the Climate-ADAPT performance and layout were improved by embedding the platform into the modernised EEA website. A further upgrade of Climate-ADAPT content and functionalities will follow in 2025, using the findings of the Climate-ADAPT evaluation. We invite you to explore the new look and feel of Climate-ADAPT and to share with us any feedback via our contact address (climate.adapt@eea.europa.eu).
