Climate-ADAPT Event
Boosting adaptation to climate change: Climate-ADAPT Training Session for Slovakia
Promoting Climate-ADAPT in Slovakia
The European Climate Adaptation Platform (Climate-ADAPT) is a partnership between the European Commission's Directorate-General for Climate Action (DG CLIMA) and the European Environment Agency (EEA). Its main objectives are to share the knowledge base and practical implementation experiences in the field of climate change adaptation, assist an effective uptake of this knowledge by decision makers and contribute to a greater level of coordination among the relevant sectoral policies and different institutional levels, as a contribution to the aim of the EU Adaptation Strategy to support better informed decision-making for a more climate-resilient Europe.
Following the webinar “National and EU level knowledge and tools for Slovakia” hold on May 24, this training session focuses on how to use and explore Climate-ADAPT from a sector perspective (and potentially from other perspectives) and how to become an active contributor by submitting information to the platform. The training also provides a reflection on how the current available information is being used and which potential knowledge gaps could be addressed at the European level.
The target audience of the webinar are current and potential new users and information providers of Climate-ADAPT in Slovakia, i.e., governmental decision-makers as well as the organisations supporting them in the development, implementation, and evaluation of climate change adaptation strategies, plans and actions at all governance levels in Europe.
The training will be held in English.

Read here the story of the fictional character Beata, who works in the Ministry of Environment. She is in charge of developing adaptation policies for the water sector in Slovakia. As floods are a key challenge in Slovakia, she is looking for information on water management to develop flood protection and disaster management measures. Her story shows how she uses Climate-ADAPT in a basic way by following clear options, to find the information she is looking for.
