Making agriculture, energy and transport climate resilient: how much money is required and what will it deliver?
Sources of informationJanuary 13, 2026 | European Environment Agency (EEA) |
A briefing from the EEA warns that making Europe’s agriculture, energy, and transport sectors climate-resilient will require annual investments of €53 to €137 billion by 2050. Current committed funding stands at only €15–16 billion per year, leaving a massive gap that could quadruple if global temperatures rise by 3°C. The report highlights the "double dividend" of adaptation, noting that resilient agriculture through improved soil management and agroforestry can both safeguard food security and enhance carbon sequestration.
