🚨 🌍 In their newest report, the European Environment Agency (EEA) rings alarm bells, warning that climate risks in Europe have escalated to critical levels and could become catastrophic without urgent and decisive policies and action. 🤝 The report stresses the importance of cooperating across levels of government. As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, local governments are on the frontline of climate impacts and play a crucial role in building resilience. 🌿 With this in mind, our Policy Support Facility has worked closely with 36 municipalities, helping them to implement concrete measures against growing climate risks. Through national workshops, twinning programmes and expert guidance, these municipalities have piloted innovative adaptation strategies tailored to their needs. 🏘 Prioritising support and policies for local adaptation initiatives is essential as Europe confronts climate change. By empowering municipalities to take proactive measures and invest in climate-resilient infrastructure, Europe can build a more sustainable future. 🇪🇺 The European Commission's directorate for Climate Action recognised this in their communication on managing climate risks to protect people and prosperity, published yesterday. They acknowledged the importance of improving governance structures and local involvement in addressing climate risks, underscoring the need for clear identification of risk owners across EU, national, regional, and local levels. 💬 "It is essential to have clarity on who owns the risks so that we can act effectively. In this way we can better prepare to act as EU, as national, as regional and as local governments. With the strong data we have and that we will further improve, we can help Member States, regional authorities and local communities plan better for what is ahead. We can get prepared. Managing climate risks needs to be stepped up to make sure people, businesses and future generations prosper in a changing climate." - Woepke Hoekstra, European Commissioner for Climate Action.

Today, the United States Environmental Protection Agency released the Fifth Edition of Climate Change Indicators in the United States. The report highlights new data showing the continuing and far-reaching impacts of climate change on the people and environment of the United States. New to the report this year are an indicator on Marine Heat Waves (showing trends related to multi-day high ocean temperatures) and a feature on Heat-Related Workplace Deaths. The Fifth Edition presents highlights from a subset of EPA’s total of 57 indicators, which include historical data and observed trends related to either the causes or effects of climate change. The report explores the interconnected nature of observed changes in climate with chapters thematically organized around Greenhouse Gases, Heat on the Rise, Extreme Events, Water Resources at Risk, Changing Seasons, Ocean Impacts, Rising Seas, and Alaska’s Warming Climate. Since publishing the first edition in 2010, EPA has maintained an up-to-date online resource of climate change indicators and regularly released updated publications that present the latest data. EPA partners with more than 50 data contributors from various U.S. and international government agencies, academic institutions, and other organizations to compile these key indicators of climate change. EPA’s indicators show multiple lines of compelling evidence that climate change is increasingly affecting people’s health, society, and ecosystems in numerous ways.
