Adaptation challenges and opportunities for the European energy system
The new EEA report identifies the challenges of, and opportunities for, climate change adaptation and
climate resilience in the context of a decarbonising energy system in Europe. It intends to support
the efforts of the European Commission, national governments and non‑state actors involved in planning,
reporting, reviewing, implementing and revising relevant policies. The report provides information
on the climate impacts and adaptation challenges associated with different energy technologies, gives
an overview of the state of adaptation related to the energy system in Europe and presents good
practice adaptation examples. The report concludes by identifying opportunities for further action by key
adaptation actors and enablers in Europe.
