The new rules proposed by the EU will require Member States to make plans to adapt to an increase of up to 3 degrees Celsius in global temperature compared to pre-industrial levels, reports Financial Times (FT).
DECRYPTAGE - The Commission asks the Twenty-Seven to build plans with a view to warming to 3 degrees by 2100, while maintaining the objective of limiting it to 1.5 degrees, with a view to containing the explosion of costs.
Brussels is preparing new rules to strengthen the prevention of climate disasters, but does not provide for new financial support for families.
After the record summer of 2026, the EU Commission declares adaptation to climate change a maxim. Europe should prepare for a three degree warmer world. However, it is poorly prepared.
The first-ever European law on adaptation to climate change was presented in Brussels on 27 October. The executive hopes to drive "systemic change" at all levels of action and decision-making to "better prepare and protect" Europeans and industry, all without specific funding and with a "minimum of obligations" on administrations.
75% of Europeans live in cities and urban areas and feel the impact of climate change first-hand. Strengthening climate resilience is therefore a strategic investment in Europe's competitiveness, security, health and prosperity, says the European Commission.
