With the publication of the EU Adaptation Strategy and the Closing the protection gap staff working document, there is a momentum to build public European datasets on total and insured economic losses and human impacts from weather and climate related events. EEA will support the Joint Research Centre, who is mandated to collect and distribute the information from public sources on, based on the knowledge gathered in this topic over the last decade. As for several reporting mechanisms on climate risks and climate change adaptation, collecting data at European level is less detailed than the information available at national or even (sub-national) regional level. The added value is in the comparability of information from different countries.
