The European Commission has launched a public consultation on climate resilience, inviting citizens, businesses, regional authorities, civil society and all stakeholders to share their views and perspectives on how Europe can better prepare for and respond to climate change. 

Europe is facing growing damages and costs from extreme weather events- from health, livelihoods, infrastructure, to the economy. The recently presented European Climate Risk Assessment stressed how our continent is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world and shows that without urgent action, these climate risks could reach catastrophic levels by the end of the century. The Commission also published a Communication on managing climate risks in Europe in March 2024. 

Today's consultation will be an important contribution as the Commission designs a new EU framework on climate resilience, set for adoption in late 2026 – to make Europe stronger, safer, and ready for the challenges of a changing climate. This new framework will notably protect people's health and well-being, anticipate and reduce high-impact climate risks, strengthen preparedness at all levels of society, and promote innovative climate-resilient technologies, products, and services.  

The consultation is open until 23 February 2026 (midnight, Brussels time) and is available on the Have Your Say portal. The results of this consultation will join those of the call for evidence launched this summer 2025, which will also inform the Commission's work on the new EU framework on climate resilience.  

More information on the climate resilience consultation is available online.
