The European Commission DG ENV has requested technical and scientific support to the European Drought Observatory (EDO) for Resilience and Adaptation, aiming towards a better understanding of drought impacts and risks in different sectors of the society. The purpose is to raise the awareness amongst all water stakeholders regarding the increasing risk of drought due to climate change, exchange about effective options for dealing with the increased risk of droughts and bring consensus towards a harmonised approach at the European level. Fresh Thoughts Consulting GmbH undertakes an in-depth assessment of existing drought management plans in the EU Member States and develops a report on climate adaptation actions against drought in different sectors.
