چکیده
Escalating climate risks to critical infrastructures in Europe Climate hazard damages to critical infrastructures in Europe will escalate as a result of global warming, with an uneven territorial distribution of future impacts and adaptation needs. This calls for (i) an EU commitment to continue supporting adaptation action in Member States (e.g. through Cohesion Policy investments) and to coordinate the exchange of information and best practices; and (ii) further mainstreaming of climate adaptation in a wide range of EU policies and funding instruments, where cross-sectorial consideration of adaptation and climate resilience should be promoted.

متن کاملA Climatic Stability Approach to Prioritizing Global Conservation Investments
Climate change is impacting species and ecosystems globally. Many existing templates to identify the most important areas to conserve terrestrial biodiversity at the global scale neglect the future impacts of climate change. Unstable climatic conditions are predicted to undermine conservation investments in the future. This paper presents an approach to developing a resource allocation algorith...
