The EU PolicyWatch database collects information on measures taken by governments and social partners to ease current social and economic tensions. Given the challenges posed by climate change, the database also uses 65 concrete measures to map how policymakers are addressing the effects of extreme weather events on businesses, workers and citizens. The goal is to inform governments and social partners about various procedures for mitigating the socio-economic impacts of climate change while maintaining the economic competitiveness and viability of local areas.
