Communication from the Commission: Managing climate risks: protecting people and prosperity.

The outlook for Europe is well presented in the first European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA) conducted by the European Environment Agency, so in the best-case scenario, in which we limit global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, Europe will have to learn to live with a climate that is 3 degrees warmer and, Face exponentially more heat waves and other weather extremes.
