Cities and Climate Change: adaptation to climate change strategies and dissemination of scientific knowledge to local decision makers.

he Clean Industrial Transition Monitor by the European Climate Neutrality Observatory (ECNO) assesses real-world progress using more than 50 indicators and provides a comprehensive and nuanced picture of both progress and remaining gaps. 

ECNO’s analysis is structured around 13 building blocks of the transition, tracking six-year trends across nearly 146 indicators, as well as the expected impact of climate-related public policies.

It is hot in Europe. Very hot. And the summer has only just begun. The recent heat wave in large parts of Europe reminds us that the forthcoming European framework for climate resilience and risk assessment comes with high stakes: it is about the safety of populations and the competitiveness of the European economy.
