ETC/CCA 2014-2018 Multiannual strategic objective The European Topic Centre on Climate Change impacts, vulnerability and Adaptation (ETC/CCA) supports the EEA in informing policy development and implementation in the area of climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation (CCIVA) by means of data, information/indicators and assessments Policy processes to be supported EU 2013 Climate Change Adaptation Strategy Main EU environmental, sectoral and other policies that require mainstreaming of climate change adaptation (e.g. 2020 Biodiversity Strategy, 2012 Water Blueprint, Water Framework Directive, Floods Directive, ICZM Strategy)
