event:
Enhance Climate Change Adaptation and Coastal Resilience Date: February 28, 2023
Place: European Parliament, Brussels - Belgium
Description of the event:
Despite the international and European efforts to address climate change and mitigate the negative effects on our planet and human livelihood, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, floods and many other consequences are a reality to face, in particular for coastal areas and their communities. The EU needs to quickly modify its policies and actions to respond to the already occurring environmental calamities and put in place adaptation measures, considering both the short-term emergency situations and the long-term objective of building a climate resilient Europe, as stated in the European Climate Law and in the new EU Climate Adaptation Strategy.
Maritime regions play an important role in this context
as they experience the effects of climate change on their territory and
contribute to the design and implementation of both place-based and
evidence-based strategies. The event is organised in the framework of the
Seas, Rivers, Islands and Coastal Areas (SEArica) Intergroup of the European
Parliament, together with the support of the Interreg Italy-Croatia AdriaClim project and the Conference of Peripheral
Maritime Regions.
