Western Europe had its warmest summer on record, and heatwaves could cost European economies €100bn+ in lost output, recent studies show.
As the Commission is expected to present its climate resilience framework next week, see @esabcc_eu's advice for EU adaptation policy below.

The EU's CAP allocates ~€145bn for climate action (2021-27). Recently the EU CAP Network found 2023 CAP measures delivered limited climate mitigation. As the next CAP & post-2030 climate framework are debated, see the Advisory Board's advice for the EU's agri-food system below.

Yesterday, @DiazAnadon, @esabcc_eu Vice-Chair, spoke at the Green Social Summit hosted by @Europarl_EN.
Her message: adaptation and mitigation are two responses to the same problem. Every tonne of emissions avoided is damage the EU won't have to address later.
The @esabcc_eu's recommendations on adaptation and the energy transition referred to in @DiazAnadon's presentation can be found in the following reports:

On 24 March, the @esabcc_eu began its second mandate, with nine members continuing from the first and six new members joining. As this new phase begins, former member Joeri Rogelj reflects on his experience during the Board’s first term: linkedin.com/pulse/four-year…
Earlier this week, @esabcc_eu engaged with EU institutions in Brussels.
Discussions connected climate science with current policy priorities across the European Commission, the Council, and the European Parliament’s ENVI Committee.
The @esabcc_eu begins its second term (2026–2030).
15 experts will provide independent scientific advice to support EU climate action.
