EU Mission Adaption to Climate Change

As climate impacts intensify, cities play a crucial role in adapting to a changing environment. With dense populations and critical infrastructure, cities face climate change-related challenges such as frequent heatwaves, flooding from heavy rainfall and rising sea levels, strain on infrastructure and public services, and growing risks to public health and vulnerable communities. The urban dimension of climate adaptation is central to building resilience; and Gothenburg is committed to strengthening and preparing our city for the challenges ahead.
