EC adopts Green paper on climate change 06-07-2007 The European Commission has adopted a green paper on how to adapt to the
impacts of climate change, on 29 June 2007. The green paper sets out options for
EU action to help the process of adaptation to climate change.across Europe.
Adaptation means taking action to cope with changing climatic conditions, for
example by using scarce water resources more efficiently or ensuring the frail
and elderly are properly cared for during heatwaves.
The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) welcomes the fact
that the green paper recognises the need for a multilevel governance approach
and the prominent role of regional and local authorities.
