The EEA briefing “Towards \u2018just resilience<\/a>\u2019: leaving no one behind when adapting to climate change” outlines which groups in Europe are most affected by climate change<\/strong>, what kind of adaptation<\/strong> measures can protect those groups, and how social justice<\/strong> can be embedded in adaptation policies and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More and more vulnerable Europeans are increasingly exposed to dangerous heat waves, due to the combination of rising temperatures, urbanisation, and the ageing of the population, according to the EEA briefing. Flood-prone areas<\/strong> in some countries tend to have higher shares of the elderly or unemployed people<\/strong> who may not be able to relocate or pay for insurances or adequate flood protection for their homes. The EEA analysis also shows that nearly half of schools and hospitals in European cities are within intense urban heat islands, and every tenth European school or hospital<\/strong> may be exposed to flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
