EU auditors on climate adaptation: EU action not keeping up with ambition
Progress towards climate adaptation is difficult to measure, the EU auditors say in their report. Between 20214 and 2020, at least €8 billion were earmarked for climate adaptation in the EU, rising to €26 billion between 2021-2027. Though the majority of projects examined by the ECA increased the adaptive capacity, there were still 40% of projects with little or no impact.
