Europe is at risk of being overwhelmed by the effects of climate change unless it ups its game on adaptation, the EU Court of Auditors (ECA) warned on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur report\u2026raises serious concerns about the EU&#8217;s ability to keep pace with the changing climate,\u201d the ECA member who led the audit, Klaus-Heiner Lehne, said while briefing reporters ahead of publication. \u201cIt&#8217;s a race between the accelerating impacts of climate change on our economies and societies and our efforts to adapt to these new and ever changing realities,\u201d Lehne said.<\/p>\n<p>The Luxembourg-based budget watchdog, which assesses the effectiveness on the ground of EU policy and funding, concluded that the bloc\u2019s political and legislative approach to climate adaptation was generally sound, referencing in particular the adaptation strategy launched in 2013 and updated in 2021. However, although it stresses the importance of building resilience to extremes of weather at the local level, the ECA found that 70% of 400 municipalities in the four countries surveyed \u2013 Austria, Estonia, France and Poland \u2013 were unaware of the EU strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, 60% were unaware of their own governments\u2019 national adaptation plans, and over half had never heard of regional adaptation plans already in place. Only around one in six had a local adaptation plan of their own \u2013 although the ECA took it as a \u201cpositive sign\u201d that a fifth of them were \u201cworking on one\u201d. The auditors examined 36 projects in preparing their report, and concluded that a substantial number of them were wrong headed, and possibly even counter productive.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/10\/16\/europe-not-ready-for-increasing-drought-flooding-and-forest-fires-auditors-warn\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2024\/10\/16\/europe-not-ready-for-increasing-drought-flooding-and-forest-fires-auditors-warn\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/europe-not-ready-for-increasing-drought-flooding-and-forest-fires-auditors-warn\/\">Europe not ready for increasing drought, flooding and forest fires, auditors warn<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,1551,696,2181,16530],"class_list":["post-134680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-drought","tag-europe","tag-flooding","tag-forest-fires"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134680\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
