Seasonal \r\nchanges may result in reductions in many areas in summer (by 8-30% \r\nin Southern Europe) and increases in most of NEU during winter. \r\nIncreasing probabilities and persistence of high winds over the Aegean \r\nand Baltic seas (Weber et al., 2018a) could create new opportunities \r\nfor offshore wind. The future configuration of the wind fleet will affect \r\nthe spatial and temporal variability of wind power production (Tobin \r\net al., 2016). Total backup energy needs in Europe could increase by \r\n4-7% by 2100 (Wohland et al., 2017) with potentially larger seasonal \r\nchanges (Weber et al., 2018b)."

Nature-based Solutions, such as urban greening, often integrate \r\nadaptation and mitigation in sustainable urban developments and are associated with increasing natural and social capital in urban \r\ncommunities, improving health and well-being, and raising property prices (Geneletti and Zardo, 2016; Pasimeni et al., 2019; Grafakos \r\net  al., 2020). Barriers to CRD in European cities include limitations in: funding, local capacity, guidance documents and quantified \r\ninformation on costs, co-benefits and trade-offs (Grafakos et al., 2020). Pilot projects are used to initiate CRD transitions (Nagorny-Koring \r\nand Nochta, 2018).

Individuals can take several actions to effectively protect themselves from heat including \r\n(a) decrease exposure to high temperatures (e.g., avoid outdoor during hottest times of the day, access cool areas, \r\nwear protective and appropriate clothing), (b) keep hydrated (e.g., drink enough proper fluids, avoid alcohol, etc.) \r\nand (c) be sensitive to the symptoms of heat illness (dizziness, heavy sweating, fatigue, cool and moist skin with \r\ngoosebumps when in heat, etc.)."

"Once the heatwave has ended, evaluation of what worked well and how improvements can be made is key \r\nto prepare for the next heatwave. Governments can, for example, evaluate whether the early warning systems \r\nprovided timely and useful information, whether coordination went smoothly and assess the estimated number of \r\nlives saved, to determine the effectiveness of the measures implemented. Sharing these lessons learned is critical to \r\nallow other cities and regions to plan for heat extremes. After the heatwave, citizens can reflect if their responses \r\nwere sufficient, whether investments are needed to be better prepared and draw key lessons about what (not) to \r\ndo when the next heatwave strikes."

"Not all climate-change impacts across Europe pose challenges and threats to natural communities and human society. In some regions, and for \r\nsome sectors, opportunities will emerge. Although these opportunities do not outweigh the negative impacts of climate change, considering \r\nthese in adaptation planning and implementation is important to benefit from them. Nevertheless, Europe will face difficult decisions balancing \r\nthe trade-offs between the adaptation needs of different sectors, regions and adaptation and mitigation actions."

"Indirect opportunities emerge from the co-benefits of implementing adaptation actions. Some of these co-benefits \r\nare widespread but need careful consideration in order to be utilised. For example, an NbS approach to adaptation \r\ncan make cities and settlements more liveable, increase the resilience of agriculture and protect biodiversity. \r\nEcosystem-based adaptation can attract tourists and create recreational space. There are opportunities to \r\nmainstream adaptation into other developments and transitions, including the energy or agricultural transitions \r\nas well as COVID-19 recovery plans. Transformative solutions to achieve sustainability may be accelerated through \r\nlarger changes of, for example, behaviour, energy, food or transport, to better exploit new opportunities and \r\nco-benefits. Implementation of adaptation actions can also help to make progress towards achieving the SDGs."

For example, \r\ndamage from land-falling hurricanes along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico is expected to increase as very strong \r\nhurricanes become more frequent and intense due to climate change. But damage would also increase with \r\nadditional construction along the shoreline, because coastal development increases exposure to hurricanes. And if \r\nsome structures are constructed to poor building standards, as was the case when hurricane Andrew made landfall \r\nin Florida in 1992, then vulnerability to hurricane-caused impacts is increased."

"Climate change also contributes to impacts from extreme events by making some building codes and zoning restrictions \r\ninadequate or obsolete. Many North American communities limit development in areas known to be flood-prone, \r\nto minimise exposure to flooding. But as climate change expands the areas at risk of exposure to flooding beyond \r\nhistorical floodplains, the impacts of potential flooding are increased, as Hurricane Harvey demonstrated. Adapting to \r\nclimate change may require retrofits for existing structures and revised zoning for new construction. Some structures \r\nand neighbourhoods may need to be abandoned altogether to accommodate expanded flooding risk."

"Climate change can be an added stress that increases impacts from extreme events, combined with other non-climatic \r\nstressors. For example, climate change in western North America has contributed to more extreme fire weather. \r\nThe devastating impacts of recent wildfire outbreaks, such as occurred across western Canada in 2016 and 2017, the \r\nwestern United States in 2018 and 2020, and both countries in 2021, are to some extent associated with expanded \r\ndevelopment and forest management practices (such as policies to suppress low-intensity fires, allowing fuel to \r\naccumulate). The effects of development and forest management have dramatically increased the exposure and \r\nvulnerability of communities to intense wildfires. Climate change has added to these stressors: warming temperature \r\nleads to more extreme weather conditions that are conducive to increasingly severe wildfires."

"Biodiversity is affected by climate change in this way too. For example, numerous bird populations across North \r\nAmerica are estimated to have declined by up to 30% over the past half-century. Multiple human-related factors, \r\nincluding habitat loss and agricultural intensification, contribute to these declines, with climate change as an added \r\nstressor. Increasingly extreme events, such as severe storms and wildfires, can decimate local populations of birds, \r\nadding to existing ecological threats."

In contrast, 'soft' adaptation limits exist primarily as a function \r\nof the social-ecological value systems of local communities and \r\ngovernment entities that are reflected as goals and objectives in their \r\nmanagement plans for ecosystems and species across North America. \r\nSoft limits are often mutable or can be removed altogether (Dow et al., \r\n2013).

"These societies were not immune to climate hazards despite their greater population and more formal organisation. \r\nArchaeological evidence strongly suggests that drought, or growing conditions that were too hot or cold, \r\ncontributed to the decline of groups ranging from Classic-period Maya states in Mesoamerica, to the somewhat less \r\nhierarchical societies of Chaco in the southwest USA and Cahokia in the Midwest USA (Figure FAQ14.2.1). The usual \r\npattern seems to be that climatic variability compounded social and environmental problems that were already \r\nchallenging these societies."

"If societies in North America prior to the Euroamerican colonisation were vulnerable to climate variability, surely \r\nwere not the more recent and technologically advanced societies of North America at lower risk? The 20th century \r\nDust Bowl created in the US and Canadian prairies suggests otherwise. Severe drought conditions throughout \r\nthe 1930s--which, to make matters worse, peaked during the Great Depression--did not cause either the USA \r\nor Canada to collapse. But both countries suffered massive economic losses, regional loss of topsoil and regional \r\nhuman strife (including loss of crops, income and farms) leading to migration. Yet anthropogenic global climate \r\nchange was of little or no consequence in the 1930s. While farming practices made climate stress worse, the climate \r\nvariability itself was either completely, or mostly, within the envelope of historical climate variability that earlier \r\nhuman societies had experienced."
