Responding to climate change impacts on human health in Europe: focus on floods, droughts and water quality

Risks and solutions: how climate change is impacting our water and health

In Europe, the climate is changing quickly. Extreme weather events that have taken place over recent years offer an indication of what is to come under future warming conditions.

Climate change impacts the water cycle, causing flooding, water scarcity and drought. In addition, climate-related changes in water quality threaten human health. All of the above could become more severe and far-reaching in the future without greater adaptation measures.

The EEA will launch its new report ‘Responding to climate change impacts on human health in Europe: focus on floods, droughts and water quality’ on the 15th May, 11.00-12.15 CEST. The launch event, co-organised by Friends of Europe, takes place in Brussels and can also be followed online.
