New EEA Report on Adaptation challenges and opportunities for the European energy system
This report studies current and future needs for climate change adaptation and climate resilience in the European energy system. This analysis supports the clean energy transition, which involves a huge expansion of renewable energy sources, many of which are sensitive to climate factors.
The Report clearly states that the European energy system needs to take the climate change effects into consideration in addition to pursuing a clean energy transition.Indeed, despite having some possible good outcomes such as less energy needs for heating, global warming impacts will mostly be negative, and our current system is not ready to adapt to them.
Different European regions may be affected differently, but the assessment recommends countries to consider “the impacts of climate change in the development of national climate and energy plans and long‑term strategies under the EU Energy Union.”

IPCC’S new Special Report on Climate Change and Land
Today, 8 August 2019, the IPCC has officially presented its latest special report titled “Climate Change and Land” during the press conference held at the World Meteorological Organization premises in Geneva, Switzerland from 10 am CEST. The presentation was co-organized with UN Foundation within the framework of the Geneva Environment Network.
The special report deals with climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems.
The report was developed under the joint scientific leadership of Working Groups I, II, III and the Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, and supported by the WG III TSU.
103 experts from 52 countries were selected as Coordinating Lead Authors and Lead Authors – who worked on each individual chapter – and Review Editors.
