The main goal of JRC PESETA programme is to try to understand the scale and distribution of climate risks in Europe, providing a science-based, quantitative and consistent multi-risk assessment for a broad set of specific risks.PESETA in detail JRC PESETA V JRC PESETA VJRC is currently working on PESETA V, also known as the TRACE project. The new project extends the JRC PESETA IV in new directions.Learn more about PESETA V At a glance: PESETA V facts & figuresTemperature-related mortalityProjected heat-related death hotspots in Europe due to warming and ageing.Overview of regional climate risks in EuropeRegional asymmetries in climate risks across Europe.TourismSummer tourism in southern Europe could decrease due to climate change. JRC PESETA past projects Past JRC PESETA projects Past JRC PESETA projects PESETA IV The JRC PESETA IV study shows that ecosystems, people and economies in the EU will face major impacts from climate change if we do not urgently mitigate greenhouse gas emissions or adapt to climate change. The burden of climate change shows a clear north-south divide, with southern regions in Europe much more impacted, through the effects of extreme heat, water scarcity, drought, forest fires and agriculture losses. Limiting global warming to well below 2°C would considerably reduce climate change impacts in Europe. Adaptation to climate change would further minimize unavoidable impacts in a cost-effective manner, with considerable co-benefits from nature-based solutions.The project was completed in 2020.Learn more about PESETA IV PESETA III The study assesses how climate change could affect Europe in eleven impact areas: coastal floods, river floods, droughts, agriculture, energy, transport, water resources, habitat loss, forest fires, labour productivity, and mortality due to heat.The project was completed in 2018.Learn more about PESETA III PESETA II The objective of the JRC PESETA II project is to gain insights into the sectoral and regional patterns of climate change impacts in Europe by the end of this century.The project was completed in 2014.Learn more about PESETA II PESETA I The PESETA I research project integrates a set of high-resolution climate change projections and physical models into an economic modelling framework to quantify the impacts of climate change on vulnerable aspects of Europe.
