219 October 2010CER The Voice of European Railways European Commission takes climate change adaptation on board  April 2009: White Paper “Adapting to climate change: Towards a European framework for action” (COM (2009)147/7) -Sept 2009: set up an Impact and Adaptation Steering Group to step up cooperation on adaptation : review each policy area to integrate adaptation, assessing 1) the potential impact of climate change in the sector, 2) the costs of action/inaction, 3) impact of proposed measures on other sectors -From 2013 on: implement that EU strategy.  Focus put on agriculture, health, water.  One reference to transport infrastructure: Infrastructure projects which receive EU funding should take climate-proofing into account

319 October 2010CER The Voice of European Railways EU Parliament too, but underlines needs for adequate funds for transport infrastructure!  European Parliament voted in June 2010 on the 2009 White paper: : o Give more emphasis on transport: transport infrastructure is much affected by climate change o Need for mitigation measures and modal shift: o polluter pays principle o internalisation of external costs (Eurovignette) o EU existing funds are not enough 16/ /03 Oct. 06/05... Towards a European adaptation fund?

419 October 2010CER The Voice of European Railways Link ongoing activities on extreme weather events!
