ACKNOWLEDGES that addressing the additional adaptation needs to prevent and alleviate the current and projected negative impacts of climate change will entail economic costs in the short run and require appropriate funding; UNDERLINES that delays in taking adequate adaptation action are likely to generate even higher costs and, negative impacts on sectoral outputs, on employment, health and infrastructure, with differential impacts at national and regional level; ACKNOWLEDGES the need to target the most cost effective adaptation measures, to increase climate resilience across the economy, based on consistent economic and ...[+++]vulnerability assessment frameworks; ACKNOWLEDGES that effective adaptation action should facilitate more climate resilient investments and more sustainable choices for investment – both private and public , and is expected to create new market opportunities for sustainable growth and job creation; RECALLS the Conclusions of the European Council on 7-8 February on the Multi-annual Financial Framework underlining the importance of further mainstreaming the climate action objectives in the future EU budget; UNDERLINES that within national public sector frameworks, further initiatives by the private sector action are needed, including by the insurance industry to managing climate risk, in order to complement public intervention on adaptation".

The European Environment Agency should assist the Commission, as appropriate, with monitoring and reporting work, especially in the context of the Union’s inventory system and its system for policies and measures and projections; in conducting an annual expert review of Member States’ inventories; in evaluating progress towards the Union’s emission reduction commitments; in maintaining the European Climate Adaptation Platform relating to impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation to climate change; and in communicating sound climate ...[+++]information to the public.

disseminating information collected under this Regulation, including maintaining and updating a database on Member States’ mitigation policies and measures and the European Climate Adaptation Platform relating to impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation to climate change.

Research and analysis on adverse effects of and vulnerabilities to climate change; Research and analysis on assessing the socio-economic impacts and costs of climate change; Enhancing the scientific, technical and institutional capacity to predict climate change and its impacts; Research and development on technologies and measures to adapt to climate change; Raising awareness of integrating vulnerability reduction and adaptation needs into sustainable development strategies and their implementation.

11. REITERATES that mitigation of climate change is the cornerstone of present and future climate change policies and that, since climate change is already occurring, adaptation to climate change is a necessary complement to such policies; REITERATES that even with significant emission reductions over the coming decades, societies in developing and developed countries have to prepare for and adapt to the consequences of some inevitable climate change; NOTES that postponing mitigation will increase the need for adaptation or may even render it impossible, e.g. in case of rapid, non-linear changes; EMPHASISES that the feasibility of ada ...[+++]ptation strategies depends to a large extent on the level of mitigation; REITERATES that incorporating the consideration of climate risks into poverty reduction strategies and national strategies for sustainable development is key to minimising developing countries' vulnerability to climate change;

“No regret” public policies in these areas can provide net benefits regardless of climate change, because they would address vulnerabilities associated not only with climate change but also with many other stressors that our industries and communities already face.
