Timing of the cycle of agricultural crops (agrophenology) (CLIM 031) - Assessment published Sep 2008: There is evidence that the flowering and maturity of several species in Europe now occurs two or three weeks earlier than in the past. The shortening of the phenological phases is expected to continue if temperatures continue to increase.

Damages from weather and climate-related events (CLIM 039) - Assessment published Nov 2012: Hydro-meteorological events (storms, floods, and landslides) account for 64 % of the reported damages due to natural disasters in Europe since 1980; climatological events (extreme temperatures; droughts and forest fires) account for another 20 %. Overall damages from extreme weather events have increased from EUR 9 billion in the 1980s to more than EUR 13 billion in the 2000s (inflation-corrected). The observed damage increase is primarily due to increases in population, economic wealth and human activities in hazard-prone areas and to better reporting. It is currently difficult to determine accurately the proportion of damage costs that are attributable to climate change. The contribution of climate change to the damage costs from natural disasters is expected to increase due to the projected changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events.

Europe must adapt to stay ahead of a changing climate: As Europe’s climate warms, wine producers in Europe may need to change the type of grapes they cultivate or the location of vineyards, even moving production to other areas in some cases. This is just one example of how Europe’s economy and society need to adapt to climate change, as examined in a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA).
