Abstract
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Petitions (PETI), analyses the kinds of compensation available to victims of climate change disasters in the EU. The study outlines the dangers and effects of climate change in the EU as well as the EU policies and mechanisms to deal with climate change disasters. A theoretical framework is developed to determine appropriate compensation mechanisms to deal with climate change disasters. Also, the compensation mechanisms for natural disasters in a representative selection of Member States are discussed. Furthermore, a critical analysis of the compensation mechanisms at EU and Member State level is provided, and policy recommendations are formulated.
