Episode 12: The Heat Is On. Are we ready for a changed climate? Part II - costs of climate change & building resilience

How much is climate change costing us in terms of lives lost, economic losses and impacts on our lives?

In Part II of 'The Heat Is On - are we ready for a changed climate?' we dig into these costs and our experts give a Europe wide check-up on how we are doing in adapting and building resilience both at national, regional and local levels.

Our experts also run through the recent EEA briefings and data on these issues via the links below:
