14. New dashboards for adaptation policies, planning and implementation

The purpose of the 14th Climate-ADAPT Webinair, held on January 24th, 2024 is to showcase new and updated knowledge resources on Climate-ADAPT, supporting adaptation policies, planning and implementation, in particular at regional and local levels. Examples of new resources, implemented in the second semester of 2023, are a new dashboard on adaptation policies, available at the EEA's 'Climate and Energy in the EU portal', an update of the Climate-ADAPT country profiles on adaptation actions at national levels, and the new Adaptation Dashboard of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change Portal.

The webinar also provides a broad overview on new developments on other topics, such as the 'European Climate Risk Assessment' section and on actions foreseen ti improve the platform in the first semester of 2024. 

The target audience of the webinar are current and potential new users and information providers of Climate-ADAPT which are or might become part of the intended target audience of Climate-ADAPT, 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. Beyond that, all other users are welcome to participate in the webinar.

Background:

The EU Adaptation Strategy states that Climate-ADAPT is a key reference for knowledge on adaptation and aims to make it the authoritative European platform for adaptation. To meet this ambition, Climate-ADAPT is since 2021 being significantly extended with new data and knowledge components. Further developments, such as the EU Climate Law, the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, Destination Earth, the European Climate and Health Observatory, the EEA-Eionet Strategy, and working with new partners have required a substantial upgrading of Climate-ADAPT's mission and objectives, as well as a redefinition of the governance structure and role of stakeholders. The 2022-2024 Climate-ADAPT Strategy informs about those changes and outlines priority actions. Information about recent developments can be found in the recordings of 2023 to 2021 webinars.
