Towards a Resilient Rural Europe: The EU Climate Resilience Framework

ELO welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to develop an Integrated Framework for Climate Resilience. Such a framework should strengthen preparedness and adaptive capacity while empowering those who manage land and natural resources on a daily basis. To succeed, the framework must ensure that climate adaptation policies remain operationally feasible for primary producers, reduce unnecessary administrative complexity, and create fair economic incentives for ecosystem services provided by landowners.
