This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the annual change in heatwave exposure of people over 65, expressed as the deviation in annual person-days of heatwave exposure relative to the 1986-2005 baseline. Heat exposure poses acute health risks, particularly to older people (ie, people older than 65 years), people with underlying, chronic respiratory, kidney, or heart disease, people living in urban areas, and people with little means to access cooling mechanisms. These heat-related health risks are of particular relevance to Europe, as the continent is experiencing ageing populations, urbanisation, and a high prevalence of chronic diseases.
Progress to targets for adaptation is a dataset under the National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs), which is reported every second year (starting in 2023) by EU Member States. The dataset provides information regarding Member State's adaptation goals and how they are integrated with National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) and how adaptation concerns could affect delivering the objectives of the Energy Union. The EEA collects and quality checks this data. This reporting obligation comes from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2299 (Annex III).

This series refers to datasets related to climate change impacts, exposures, and vulnerabilities in Europe based on the Lancet Countdown indicators on health and heat; extreme events and health; and climate-sensitive infectious disease.
The National Energy and Climate Progress Reports (NECPRs) are a series of data, in accordance with the Governance Regulation 2018/1999, which provide information on the progress of implementing Member State National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). The NECPRs are reported biennially, starting in 2023, and provide data across all dimensions of the Energy Union (decarbonisation: greenhouse gas emissions and removals, decarbonisation: renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy market, and research innovation and competitiveness). The EEA/ETC collects and quality checks data regarding the elements of decarbonisation and energy efficiency and these are provided here. This includes data on progress to targets, policies and measures and additional reporting obligations. For access to data on other dimensions of the Energy Union, please consult the European Commission.
