Climate-ADAPT: European Climate Change Adaptation Platform Climate Change, Adaptation, Vulnerabilities & Risk Climate change is already happening and its effects will continue to have far-reaching consequences for human and natural systems. To stay within the limits of climate change temperature increase ceiling, mitigation actions are required that substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Europe is working hard to take these mitigation actions while encouraging other nations and regions to do likewise.
