The European Climate Risk Assessment identifies the major current and future climate change risks facing Europe and how they could affect people, the environment and the economy. Bringing together expertise from across Europe, it provides evidence to support decisions that strengthen climate resilience and prepare for future challenges.
Aims and objectives
The European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA) strengthens the existing knowledge base on climate-related hazards and risks in Europe and supports informed policy-making.
The first assessment was published in 2024. It assessed 36 major climate risks for Europe, several of which have already reached critical levels.
The EEA and the European Commission are now working on the second European Climate Risk Assessment, which is planned for publication in 2028. It will build on the first assessment to provide an updated and broader picture of climate risks in Europe. It will cover additional areas, including social policies and security, strengthening the evidence behind the assessment of key risks and look more closely at options for reducing and managing them.
The assessment will bring together knowledge and expertise from researchers, practitioners and other experts and stakeholders across Europe.
Get involved
We are inviting experts with relevant knowledge and experience to contribute to the second European Climate Risk Assessment. This is an opportunity to share your expertise, collaborate with peers from across Europe and help inform future climate resilience policies and actions.
