Hans-Martin F?ssel, one of the lead authors of the European Environment Agency report, said that scientific evidence was pointing increasingly to a speeding up in the pace of climate change.
In the Arctic, one of the most rapidly warming parts of the planet, many habitats for flora and fauna such as sea ice, tundra and permafrost peat lands have already been lost.
The report, which contains new observations and projections, looked at a wide range of indicators including agriculture, health, transport and biodiversity.
?Species are adpating but not as fast as the climate is changing and this may cause disturbances in the equilibrium of ecosystems,? Bruyninckx said.
The paper is intended to spur Europe?s sluggish moves towards adaptation strategies for dealing with the impacts of climate change, ahead of an EU review later this year.
