Overheated and underprepared — Europeans’ experience of living with climate change

This joint report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and Eurofound explores Europeans’ experience of climate-related impacts, concern about future impacts, and resilience actions taken by households and local authorities. It draws on data collected from the 2025 Eurofound Living and Working in the EU e-survey, and highlights how climate resilience varies across regions and demographic groups, including populations that are particularly vulnerable. Importantly, the report provides the first Europe-wide overview of implemented climate resilience measures – both at the household and local authority level.

Uneven picture of a changing Europe: Findings from Living and Working in the EU e-survey 2025

Findings from the 2025 (eighth) round of Eurofound’s Living and working in the EU e-survey suggest persistent economic strain and uneven levels of resilience across Member States. Despite lower inflation and labour markets that remain relatively stable by headline indicators, respondents continue to face significant financial pressure, with widening gaps between income groups, rising insecurity among renters and middle-aged people, and continued housing insecurity, especially among low-income and single-parent households.

The locked-out generation: Europe’s housing market is failing its young people

In the capital cities of Europe, a quiet but profound decoupling has taken place. For decades, the implicit social contract suggested that as economies grew and young workers entered the labour market, they would eventually secure the keys to their own front doors.

Pá íosta

Tagraíonn an téarma 'pá íosta' don srian rialála ar an ráta is ísle atá iníoctha ag fostóirí le hoibrithe. Rialaítear íosphá reachtúil le dlíthe nó le reachtanna foirmiúla. Tá pá íosta comhaontaithe i gcomhaontuithe comhchoiteanna leagtha síos i gcomhaontuithe comhchoiteanna idir ceardchumainn agus fostóirí. Úsáidtear an téarma 'pá íosta náisiúnta' nuair a bhíonn bunráta amháin (nó níos mó) ag tíortha a chlúdaíonn oibrithe ar fud na tíre. Is féidir iad a bheith reachtúil nó comhaontaithe i dteannta a chéile.
