This study summarizes possible impacts on physical environment and economics induced by climate change across the Europe. Climate change is manifesting unequally across regions of the Europe and consequently, economic costs or benefits will depend on particular region or economic sector. Economic impacts of climate change are illustrated mainly on agriculture, but the article deals also with the impact of climate change on tourism and human health and economic damage from floods and sea level rise. Better understanding of ongoing trends in specific European regions brings stratification into zones according to its environmental and climatic conditions. Then, we must take into consideration mitigation and adaptation measures planned or adopted on European, as well as national or regional levels.
