Significant changes in climate and its impacts are already visible in Europe today. Increasing temperatures, rising sea level, melting of glaciers and ice sheets as well as more intense and frequent extreme weather events are among the challenges already driven by climate change. IPCC AR5 (IPCC WGII, 2014) confirms key risks to increase for Europe with climate change projected to have adverse impacts in nearly all sectors and across all sub-regions, although with large differences in impact types. Regional variations have been shown by EEA 2012 mapping the observed and projected climate change and impacts for the main biogeographical regions in Europe (Figure 1.1). Further climate change impacts are projected for the future which can increase existing vulnerabilities and deepen socio-economic imbalances in Europe (EEA, 2012). However, adaptation prospects exist that have the potential to lower projected risks.

Significant changes in climate and its impacts have been always visible in Europe, the other thing is that the reporting system is now much more developed than before (for example we are better and more quickly informed which does not mean that the events are more frequent).
