Klimato Kaita
Interactive climate projections and scenarios for Lithuania, presenting projected changes in temperature, precipitation, hydrological and other climate indicators under different climate scenarios and time horizons
What you can do with it
Input
- Select a municipality or other area of interest in Lithuania.
- Explore temperature, precipitation, hydrological and other climate indicators.
- Compare projected changes under different climate scenarios and time horizons.
- Explore historical and current reference conditions used as baselines for future projections.
- Examine downscaled climate projections at municipality level.
Output
- Interactive maps and graphs of climate projections.
- Climate indicators and explanatory narratives.
- Projected changes under different emissions scenarios and time horizons.
- Municipality-level climate information based on downscaled gridded projections.
- Historical and current reference information for comparison with future conditions.
Use it to
- Understand how climate conditions may change across Lithuania.
- Compare projected climate changes between municipalities.
- Establish a climate baseline for risk and vulnerability assessments.
- Identify locations and climate variables requiring further investigation.
- Support national and municipal adaptation planning.
- Communicate projected climate changes to decision-makers and the public.
Why is it relevant to climate adaptation
Provides official, Lithuania-specific climate projections in a format that can support both national and municipal decision-making. Municipality-level maps help users translate national climate scenarios into a more locally relevant understanding of future conditions, making the tool useful for early risk screening and adaptation planning. Its interactive presentation supports comparison between places and scenarios, although some knowledge of climate scenarios and uncertainty is needed, and the scale is not intended for neighbourhood or site-specific decisions.
Used in
- National and municipal climate-risk and vulnerability assessment in Lithuania.
- Municipality-level adaptation planning using downscaled climate projections.
- Comparison of future temperature, precipitation, hydrological and other climate indicators across Lithuania.
- Public communication and professional analysis of Lithuanian climate scenarios by the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service.
- Evidence-building for sectors including agriculture, forestry, health, energy, transport, coastal areas and land-use planning in Lithuania.
