Adapting to Extremes: Insights for CCA and DRR in the European Green Deal

This policy brief outlines insights from the PLACARD project regarding the integration of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) within the framework of the European Green Deal, identifying systemic barriers to cooperation and proposing action areas to build societal resilience.

• Climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) share fundamental goals in reducing the negative impacts of extreme events and building resilience through risk assessments and strategic planning, yet they remain fragmented. This fragmentation is driven by distinct policy communities, decision-makers located in different agencies or ministries, the use of separate funding and information sources, and the employment of incompatible technical language.
