Prague Climate Academy
In 2023, the Green Europe Team of the Institute for European Policy EUROPEUM started a series of debates focused on communicating the topic of green transformation to the Czech public. The aim is to develop public debate and support journalists and civil society in informed discussions about climate change and climate policies. In its first year, the Prague Climate Academy focused on sustainability in transportation (decarbonizing road transport in connection with electromobility and the sustainability of transportation in Prague). In 2024, it continued with the topic of adapting cities to climate change and discussing the impacts of heatwaves on cities. The year 2025 brings the perspective of resilience, with a discussion of current trends in global temperature rise and extreme weather events, including their impacts on urban infrastructure and public health.

Interview | Jan Farský: The EU is not a cash machine, but solidarity in action. The floods showed that it works
At the EUROPEUM Institute and European Parliament Liaison Office organised event titled "Fires, Floods, and Extreme Weather – How Does the EU Help?", MEP Jan Farský assessed how well the EU’s crisis response tools have proven themselves. The European Union released over €114 million from the Solidarity Fund to support the Czech Republic after last year’s floods. According to Farský, this is proof that EU instruments—including the rescEU mechanism—are effective not only on paper but also in practice. In an interview with EUROPEUM, he discusses the importance of prevention, the role of municipalities, and why climate and crisis policies must go hand in hand.

WHAT news | Urban Heat Adaptation Should Be a Public Interest. Which European Cities Are Getting It Right?
According to the European Copernicus service, July in Europe is once again expected to be warmer than average. So far, this year continues the trend of record-breaking global temperatures set in 2023 and 2024. Climate scientists have long known that European cities are warming significantly — but in recent years, the extreme heat has also become a concern for the public and, as a result, for politicians, including those at the local level.
So how can we best survive the summer in the city — and what actions can cities take now?
An article on this topic was written for What News by Katarína Svitková, analyst at the Institute for European Policy EUROPEUM.

ANALYSIS | CITIES TAKING THE HEAT: Adaptation and heatwave preparedness in Europe
In the run-up to the summer of 2025, European cities are bracing for yet
another season of record-breaking temperatures. Heatwaves pose a serious
challenge for urban areas when it comes to infrastructure, economy,
public health and ecosystems. Heat-related hazards now account for over
85% of climate-related fatalities across Europe.
This paper explores the impacts of heatwaves upon cities and urban
populations, introducing different types of adaptation strategies used
in Europe and beyond. It also discusses useful measures of heatwave
mitigation, including urban climate shelters, shading and water
elements, and public communication.

Booklet | The Green Transition as an Economic Opportunity
Climate change is no longer an abstract threat in the future, but a reality that already has tangible impacts on our lives and the economy today. The rising costs of climate change are up to six times higher than the costs of mitigating it. For the Czech Republic, investment in the green transition could yield a return of up to 3.6 times—especially in the public budget and the energy sector. Moreover, the Czech Republic has access to the largest amount of European funding in its history to support this transformation
approximately CZK 1 trillion. This presents a unique opportunity to strengthen the economy, increase its resilience, and modernize it toward greater added value.
