   >>Europe is facing overwhelming losses and destruction from climate-related disasters.

   "A piecemeal approach is no longer enough. EU’s substantial climate risks require reforming institutions, legal frameworks, across sectors and ministries, planning, fiscal, and sectoral strategies" explains Solene Dengler, a senior climate change adaptation specialist with the World Bank.<<

     Already back in 2012 the World Bank had commissioned from us a report entitled "Turn Down the Heat. Why a 4°C warmer world must be avoided". At the time, it ended up being the most downloaded World Bank report ever, and was supported from the top. Two more regional reports followed.

     Little side fact: they had wanted a report on how to adapt to a 4°C warmer world. We wrote why it has to be avoided.

     And here we still are, 12 years later ...
