Significant changes in climate and their impacts are
already visible globally, and are expected to become
more pronounced. In Europe, mountain regions,
coastal zones, wetlands and the Mediterranean
region are particularly vulnerable. Although there
are some positive effects, many impacts are adverse.
Existing adaptive measures are concentrated in
flood defence, so there is considerable scope for
adaptation planning and implementation in other
areas, such as public health, water resources and
management of ecosystems.
