Focusing on Just Resilience in Climate Adaptation
The European Environment Agency emphasizes the importance of ensuring justice in climate adaptation policies. They have published technical papers and briefings that highlight the need for decision-makers to consider justice in their adaptation planning. For example, a briefing in 2022 stressed the importance of providing better guidance on incorporating justice into adaptation policies. Through case studies like the one in Barcelona, where increasing green spaces impacted housing prices, they aim to showcase just resilience in action.
Improving Climate Adaptation Investments for Vulnerable Groups
The European Investment Bank sets a target to allocate 15% of its total climate finance to climate adaptation actions. They focus on financing projects in developed countries, fragile states, and small island development areas. By broadening their approach to include different social groups like indigenous peoples, women, youth, and the elderly, they aim to target investments towards those most affected by climate change. They believe in leveraging the knowledge and skills of marginalized groups to enhance climate adaptation strategies for better outcomes.
