ETC/CCA 2014-2018 Multiannual strategic objective The European
Topic Centre on Climate Change impacts, vulnerability and
Adaptation (ETC/CCA) supports the EEA in informing policy
development and implementation in the area of climate change
impacts, vulnerability and adaptation (CCIVA) by means of data,
information/indicators and assessments Policy processes to be
supported EU 2013 Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Main EU
environmental, sectoral and other policies that require
mainstreaming of climate change adaptation (e.g. 2020 Biodiversity
Strategy, 2012 Water Blueprint, Water Framework Directive, Floods
Directive, ICZM Strategy)

Slide 6
Climate change and hazard indicators Update of European climate
change indicators Updated CSI012 temperature data Updating and
improving indicators of climate change impacts and vulnerability
(including DRR) in the EEA IMS Improvement of urban vulnerability
indicators Started improving urban vulnerability indicators fact
sheets - descriptions, maps and filling gaps (in collaboration with
ETC/SIA) Started updating the assessment and descriptive part of
the Map Book based on the results from the urban vulnerability
indicators Linking Copernicus climate change services & the
Climate-ADAPT Platform Started developing a proposal on how to
provide access to the Copernicus climate change service through
Climate-ADAPT - content, linkages, functions, involved
organisations, ways of implementation
