TL;DR: In this article, the potential of European regions to solar power generation and its comparison with recent European Union (EU) incentives for the development of this renewable energy source was assessed using a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) supported by Geographical Information System (GIS) to combine already existing information on solar radiation with other geographical factors such as slope, land use, urban extent and population distribution, as well as proximity to the power grid to generate a suitability map for photovoltaic (PV) power plants across the EU at high spatial resolution.

TL;DR: It is found that weather-related disasters could affect about two-thirds of the European population annually by the year 2100, mainly through a rise in the frequency of heatwaves, which is dominated by global warming.

TL;DR: It is estimated that every additional percent increase of the proportion of artificial land needs to be compensated with an increase of 2.2 % of land that qualifies as green infrastructure in order to maintain ecosystem services at 2010 levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how single and multi-hazard damage to energy, transport, industrial, and social critical infrastructures in Europe are likely to develop until the year 2100 under the influence of climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a novel, complete and consistent dataset describing tourist density at high spatial resolution with monthly breakdown for the whole of the European Union, which is achieved thanks to the integration of data from conventional statistical sources with big data from emerging sources, namely two major online booking services containing the precise location and capacity of tourism accommodation establishments.
