This paper delves into the multifaceted impacts of climate change on Europe. It examines the immediate risks, including infrastructure damage and health crises, and explores the broader socio-economic consequences.

Key initiatives like the Net-Zero Cities program and the role of Public-Private Partnerships are discussed, emphasizing the need for holistic, cross-sector collaboration. It also addresses the financial mechanisms and regulatory frameworks crucial for supporting the green transition. Ultimately, the paper underscores the EU's commitment to a sustainable, resilient future, balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship.
