Extreme temperatures do not fall on everyone equally. It is the elderly, the isolated, outdoor workers and families in the poorest-insulated homes who suffer first and worst. Resilience cannot become a privilege for those who can afford it. Protection from a changing climate is a right for everyone.

Two years ago, the first European Climate Risk Assessment laid it out bare: 36 major climate risks facing our continent, several already at critical levels, and a Europe that is warming 2x as fast as the global average, unprepared for what is coming. It's time for a real climate adaptation plan. 🧵⬇️
