Consultation on the Preparation of the European Union’s Adaptation Strategy for Climate Change

Posted on by

Prof. Magdalena Muir is an Advisor on climate change to the Coastal and Marine Union (EUCC), and External Lecturer with Aarhus University and participant in the Nordic Centre of Excellence for Strategic Adaptation. Prof Muir contributed to the preparation of submissions on the EU Adaptation Strategy on behalf of these organizations.

The EU consultation seeks to collect opinions from stakeholders and experts in the field of adaptation to climate change, with a view to getting additional information for the preparation of the EU Adaptation Strategy. The public consultation is EU’s next step in building climate adaptation into EU directives and policies, following the issuance of the White Paper- Adapting to Climate Change: Towards a European Framework for Action in 2009.

Further information on this consultation on the EU Adaptation Strategy is found at http://ec.europa.eu/clima/consultations/0015/index_en.htm

Contributions to this consultation will also be subsequently posted on this website.
