Teresa Ribera discusses climate adaptation and industrial transformation

During a visit to Seville, European Commission Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera emphasized the need to accelerate industrial transformation and promote renewable energy to counter fossil fuel volatility. She noted that protecting the Doñana region requires addressing climate realities and ensuring water availability.

Ribera detailed that the European Commission is preparing a new climate change adaptation framework. This framework aims to identify regional risks and determine vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, outdoor workers, and those in poorly insulated housing. She warned that a lack of adaptation threatens crops, hospitals, electrical systems, and transport.

Regarding financing, Ribera stated that it is essential to integrate climate factors into public investment decisions, sectoral policies, and private sector decisions to prepare for more frequent extreme temperatures.
