Adaptation Measures Portfolio

Adaptation measures have been collected by ICARIA multidisciplinary researchers from existing scientific literature and other relevant sources to support climate change action, considering all hazards included in the Project ICARIA framework, including compound events. The aim is to offer a holistic vision of adaptation, including physical aspects, as well as economic and welfare impacts, the latter measured through social, environmental and economic co-benefits. Additionally, the platform offers an interactive guide to design, evaluate and prioritise Adaptation Strategies, offering different criteria to do so - giving freedom to the user to define it based on the priorities of the decision makers.

Offers a genuinely holistic view of adaptation — not just physical measures but their welfare co-benefits — and lets decision-makers set their own prioritisation criteria rather than a fixed one. Validated through case studies and user/pilot testing across Spain, Austria and Greece, but has no dedicated cost-benefit analysis function.

• Adaptation strategy design and prioritisation under the Horizon Europe ICARIA project, in Spain, Austria and Greece
• Subnational authorities and researchers across agriculture, biodiversity, buildings, coastal areas, cultural heritage, energy, forestry, health, tourism, transport, urban and water management
