Climate portal
The system provide access to a climate portal which collects several interactive tools to explore air temperature, precipitation and climatic characteristics of Latvian municipalities, to produce and compare maps, trends and tables with projections of climatic variables. It also contains information on economic sectors, including their vulnerability to climate change and related impacts, as well as a satellite climate atlas.
What you can do with it
Input
- Explore observed and projected climate information for Latvia, including temperature, precipitation and other climatic characteristics.
- Select and compare climate variables, trends and projections at different geographic levels.
- Explore information on climate vulnerability and impacts across economic sectors.
- Access climate information through the satellite climate atlas, including information covering the three Baltic States.
Output
- Interactive maps, graphs and tables showing climate observations, trends and projections.
- Climate indicators and datasets at local, LAU and NUTS3 levels.
- Information on sectoral climate vulnerability and impacts.
- Satellite-based climate information and visualisations.
- Historical, present and projected climate information.
Use it to
- Establish a baseline understanding of observed and projected climate conditions.
- Explore how climate variables and trends differ across locations and over time.
- Identify sectors and locations that may warrant further assessment of climate risks and vulnerabilities.
- Provide climate evidence to inform early adaptation planning and further risk assessment.
- Support monitoring of changing climate conditions through regularly updated observations and indicators.
Why is it relevant to climate adaptation
Provides input at the early stages of the adaptation policy cycle, where authorities need a shared evidence base before moving towards detailed risk assessment and the selection of measures. Its combination of observed data, projections and sectoral vulnerability information can help connect changes in the physical climate with areas requiring further investigation. The availability of information at local and LAU levels also makes it useful for translating national climate information into a more place-specific understanding of risks. However, the limited availability of socioeconomic and sectoral data means that additional information may be needed for a comprehensive vulnerability and risk assessment.
Used in
- Climate risk and vulnerability assessments in Latvia
- Development of national and local adaptation strategies and plans in Latvia
- Sectoral climate vulnerability assessments
- Early-stage adaptation planning and climate-risk screening
- Monitoring and analysis of climate trends and impacts
- Climate information and assessments across the Baltic region
