The European Union will present a new Climate Resilience Framework for member states in October. The proposal is also expected to include a European Heat Wave Plan. The preparation of the document comes after an extremely hot and dry summer, which according to available estimates caused more than 35,000 excess deaths. irozhlas.cz ↗
After this year's summer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the importance of adapting to climate change. According to her, adaptation is not a marginal issue of climate policy, but one of its important components. The new framework is therefore meant to strengthen countries' preparedness for the consequences of extreme weather.
The document is expected to focus primarily on responses to heat waves and periods of drought. The European plan is meant to create a common basis for measures by member states facing rising temperatures and their health consequences. The scope of specific measures has not yet been presented.
Energy policy is also part of the broader discussion. According to Ursula von der Leyen's assessment, it is not merely a matter of prices or industrial policy, but is also linked to Europe's strategic resilience. The summer thus opened up two interconnected topics: the ability to respond to climate risks and reducing vulnerability in energy. Telex ↗
The European Commission is expected to present the details of the framework and the heat wave plan in October. It will then be up to the member states how they translate the proposed measures into their own policies.
