With climate change impacts worsening, European societal preparedness to climate change must increase. But efforts to build this resilience must ensure that no one is left behind. Join our online event for the latest EEA insights on this topic.

Considering justice in climate adaptation is crucial to achieving a resilient and prepared Europe where citizens and communities can thrive in the face of climate change. Recognising this, efforts must be placed on integrating justice considerations into the entire adaptation policy cycle.

EEA’s 'Social fairness in preparing for climate change: how just resilience can benefit communities across Europe' report, to be published on 10 June 2025, focuses on progress and ways of including the most vulnerable groups in European climate adaptation policies and actions.
