【 摘 要 】

This paper gives an overview of direct consequences of serious weather events and mitigation actions undertaken in this respect by the Commission of the European Union (EU). The potential ramifications of climate change have been illustrated based on the example of the iron and steel industry. Taken together, the findings of this study suggest that climate changes present a threat to industrial activity through the occurrence of extreme weather events as well as the need to adjust operations to meet increasingly strict legal restrictions and penalties connected with the environmental policy pursued by the European Union.
