Climate Adaptation research in a Larger Europe: An Analysis at Local and National Scales. CIRCLE-2 Report.

The CIRCLE-2 Climate Adaptation INFOBASE is a publicly accessible, online database on Climate Adaptation research. The INFOBASE includes relevant information on European research projects funded at national and local levels (National projects) as well as transnational projects funded within the framework of CIRCLE and CIRCLE-2 ERA – Net. Over 1500 adaptation projects have been submitted to the INFOBASE since its launch in 2011. All of these have undergone a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control process.

This report provides policy-maker, scientific managers, and the adaptation scientific community, with statistical information on national adaptation research in the 32 EEA country members plus Israel, determined through a sound analysis of the INFOBASE. The report highlights the key findings derived from the analysis. It also presents 4 case studies in Ireland, Portugal, Austria, and France.
