Climate · First reported 27 Oct, 06:30 · Updated 07:57
The European Commission plans climate-resilience rules requiring EU governments to identify which authorities are responsible for preparing for climate disasters, while leaving new household funding unresolved.
- Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra said the Commission’s projections envisage 2°C of global warming by 2050 and 3°C by 2100 for Europe.
- The proposed rules would require countries to specify whether national, regional or local authorities are accountable for disaster preparedness.
- The strategy includes no new household-support funding commitment; the report says about 25% of assets exposed to climate impacts are insured.
