 This provides high-level key results from 11 thematic areas drawn from the first 18 month period of the ADAM project. First answering 'what ADAM is about?' followed by;

• Can we limit climate change to 2 degrees Centigrade?
• The mitigation options of Europe until 2050
• Mitigation policies: technological flexibility at moderate costs
• How much will extreme events cost?
• Adaptation as a learning process: implications for decision-making
• What makes European climate change policies effective?
• Collaborative policy-making in EU energy policy to address climate change
  
• Protecting climate refugees
• European development assistance and climate change
• Can the European electricity sector continue delivering emission reductions beyond 2020 and 2030?
