AnaEE calls for expressions of interest to join expert group for the second European Climate Risk Assessment

AnaEE-ERIC, News, Policy

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is looking for experts to join Thematic Expert Groups (TEGs) supporting the development of the second European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA-2). 

EUCRA-2 is the European Union’s flagship assessment of climate risks and adaptation challenges. Building on the first European Climate Risk Assessment published in 2024, it will provide an updated assessment of major climate risks facing Europe, analyse adaptation options and policy readiness, and identify priorities for action to strengthen climate resilience across the EU. 


The Thematic Expert Groups will bring together specialists from science, policy, practice and civil society to contribute knowledge, evidence and perspectives throughout the assessment process.  

Members of the Thematic Expert Groups will play a unique role as knowledge co-producers. They will help shape the questions, evidence base, interpretation of findings and priorities for action that underpin EUCRA-2, ensuring that the assessment reflects the latest scientific knowledge, policy developments and practical experience from across Europe. 


Participation in a Thematic Expert Group requires a minimum time commitment of 32 hours from December 2026 to March 2028. This time is not remunerated; however per diem and travel expenses apply for attending in-person meetings. The contributions will be acknowledged in the final EUCRA-2 report package.

European Climate Risk Assessment

In May 2022, the Directorate-General for Climate Action of the European Commission (DG CLIMA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA) initiated the preparation of the first European Climate Risk Assessment (EUCRA). Published in 2024, this first EUCRA assesses current and future climate change impacts and risks relating to the environment, economy, and wider society in Europe.

Work is now underway on the second EUCRA, due to be published in Q3 2028.
