Forging a climate-resilient Europe -the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change

Global Food and Nutrition Security

The EU has adopted a new Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, setting out the pathway to prepare for the unavoidable impacts of climate change. At international level, The EU will promote sub-national, national and regional approaches to adaptation, with a specific focus on adaptation in Africa and Small Island Developing States. The EU will increase support for international climate resilience and preparedness through the provision of resources, by prioritizing action and increasing effectiveness, through the scaling up of international finance and through stronger global engagement and exchanges on adaptation. The EU will also work with international partners to close the gap in international climate finance.
