Climate change — EEA. Climate change is happening now: temperatures are rising, rainfall patterns are shifting, glaciers and snow are melting, and the global mean sea level is rising. We expect that these changes will continue, and that extreme weather events resulting in hazards such as floods and droughts will become more frequent and intense.

Impacts and vulnerabilities for nature, the economy and our health differ across regions, territories and economic sectors in Europe. More Climate change — The EU has reduced its greenhouse gas emission and is on track to meet its Kyoto Protocol commitments. However, global and European cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are far from sufficient to keep average world temperature increases... more Global mean temperature in 2009 was 0.7-0.8 °C higher than in pre-industrial times and the decade 2000-2009 was the warmest on record.

The extent of Arctic summer sea ice has declined by about 10 % per decade since 1979. The vast majority of glaciers in Europe are in retreat.
