 Despite the international and European efforts to address climate change and mitigate the negative effects on our planet and human livelihood, extreme weather events, sea-level rise, coastal erosion, floods and many other consequences are a reality to face, in particular for coastal areas and their communities. The EU needs to quickly modify its policies and actions to respond to the already occurring environmental calamities and put in place adaptation measures, considering both the short-term emergency situations and the long-term objective of building a climate resilient Europe, as stated in the European Climate Law and in the new EU Climate Adaptation Strategy.


Maritime regions play an important role in this context as they experience the effects of climate change on their territory and contribute to the design and implementation of both place-based and evidence-based strategies.

In 2023, the European Commission should assess the collective progress made by all member states towards the achievement of the climate neutrality objective and on adaptation and submit its conclusions to the co-legislators. Thus, this event organised by the SEArica Intergroup of the European Parliament, represents a timely opportunity to discuss about the comprehensiveness of the National Adaptation Strategies and Plans with respect to the needs identified by territorial stakeholders and showcase with concrete examples from different sea-basins the added value of regional authorities and territorial cooperation dynamics.
