Cooperation for climate adaptation in tourism
-
Climate change is an imminent challenge for many alpine tourism destinations. While the effects of changing climatic patterns are well documented with respect to the physical geographical sphere, research into the effects of climate change upon the regional socio-economic systems in the Alps is still rare

Baltic Sea marine biodiversity - addressing the potential of adaptation to climate change
-
The overall goal of the BAMBI research project is to assess and improve capacities of marine species to deal with the current challenge of a rapidly changing Baltic Sea environment. To reach this goal the potential of organisms to evolve new adaptations is explored as well as how management should be framed to support this

Adaptation and resilience of the transport sector
-
Climate change affects the European transport system in many ways and the impacts will differ across the world. It entails physical damage to transport infrastructure, more maintenance costs and more traffic disturbances and disruptions

Risk Systemicity Questionnaire
-
The Risk Systemicity Questionnaire (RSQ) is an Excel based tool where users are asked to consider the relative likelihood of a broad range of risks in their cities, including the risks brought about and exacerbated by climate change. Based on the responses to the questions contained in each of the topics of the RSQ, participants are provided with a relative risk score (an estimated risk level for the city) and an awareness score (the level of knowledge the city has about the possible risk scenarios)

Urban Adaptation Assessment: indicator list
-
Responding to the need for increased urban resilience and adaptation planning, the Urban Adaptation Assessment project, funded by the Kresge Foundation and led by the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative ( ND-GAIN ), provides an adaptation measurement solution that can be scaled around the world to identify key climate risks and adaptation options for cities. This work aims to advance the knowledge of adaptation by exploring the connection between adaptive capacities, social inequities, and the impacts of climate disasters

Repository of Adaptation Indicators
-
This repository of adaptation indicators, which draws from some of the latest experiences in adaptation monitoring and reporting (M&E), is intended to illustrate possible adaptation indicators and their application context, thereby supporting the selection and context-specific formulation of indicators.
Indicators are listed by focus area:
climate parameters,
climate impacts,
adaptation actions,
adaptation results

Development of a cost assessment framework for adaptation
-
To help policy makers make adaptation decisions more effectively and efficiently, RAMSES has developed a cost assessment framework that follows a hierarchical approach for prioritising and financing adaptation. The cost assessment framework is divided into three key iterative phases that follow a hierarchical process across four levels: describing the RAMSES Transition Handbook phases 2 to 5 (level 1), quantifying costs (level 2), cost assessment methods and financing mechanisms (level 3) and a range of inputs (level 4)

Adaptation Cost Curves
-
Adaptation Cost Curves (ACCs) have been proposed as a tool to assist decision-makers in understanding adaptation options in terms of costs and benefits. ACCs are obtained by plotting the cost-benefit ratio as a function of the averted loss (benefit) for each adaptation measure

BASE Evaluation Criteria for Climate Adaptation (BECCA)
-
BECCA provides a checklist of topics and issues to be considered in evaluations of concrete adaptation situations, focusing on outcomes and processes. The target group of BECCA is anyone in the position of and interested in evaluating concrete adaptation measures including politicians, officials and planners, as well as representatives from civil society and business
