RT @EUauditors: 🌍 There is a risk that the EU’s adaptation policy might not keep pace with climate change, according to a report published today by the European Court of Auditors. Extreme climate events such as heatwaves ☀️, drought 🌾 and flooding 🌊 are occurring with increasing severity and frequency. They also have major economic consequences. 💶 While the EU has a sound framework for addressing the impact of climate change, adaptation policies experience issues when put into practice.

In short:

📌 At least €8 billion in 2014-2020 and €26 billion in 2021-2027 were earmarked for climate adaptation

📌 The majority of projects examined increased adaptive capacity, but around 40 % had little or no impact

📌 Progress towards climate adaptation difficult to measure

From #floods to #snowstorm, #extremeweather events come in different shapes and sizes. But the one universal truth is that they continue to worsen everywhere around the world. More must be done to prevent the absolute worst.

Almost everywhere on the planet has experienced between 31% and 66% more whiplash events since the mid-20th century, as emissions from fossil fuel burning heated the atmosphere.
