As climate change continues to affect the safety, reliability and performance of infrastructure, products, and services across Europe, standardization has an increasingly important role to play in building climate resilience. Rising temperatures, flooding, droughts, wildfires, storms and other climate-related hazards challenge many of the assumptions on which standards are based.

CEN and CENELEC have published a new edition of Guide 32: Guide for addressing climate change adaptation in standards, underlining the growing importance of climate resilience in European standardization. As climate risks intensify across Europe, adaptation is becoming an essential consideration for infrastructure and the standards that support it.
