Climate Portal

The portal include a map-based tool to view past and projected climate indicators based on the data made available in EUROCORDEX's CIMP5. The draft National Roadmap for Adaptation 2100 – Assessment of the vulnerability of the Portuguese territory to climate change in the 21st century (RNA 2100) aims to define narratives of the evolution of vulnerabilities and impacts of climate change, as well as the assessment of investment needs for adaptation and socioeconomic costs of inaction. RNA 2100 thus supports and responds to public policy exercises on adaptation to climate change at the various levels of territorial intervention, and is also supported by several initiatives to disseminate results, including to the general public, with the ambition of becoming an important enhancer of education and awareness on the topic of adaptation to climate change.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select a location in mainland Portugal or the Outermost Regions
  • Explore past and projected climate indicators based on EURO-CORDEX CMIP5 data
  • Compare climate information at NUTS2, NUTS3 and local resolution

Output

  • Simple map-based visualisations of past and future climate indicators
  • Datasets and indicators
  • Narratives on vulnerability and impact evolution developed under the RNA 2100 roadmap

Use it to

  • Explore past and projected heavy precipitation, heat, drought, wind/storm and cold-wave conditions across Portugal
  • Support the National Roadmap for Adaptation 2100 assessment of vulnerabilities, impacts and adaptation investment needs
  • Raise public and policy awareness of adaptation costs and inaction risks
  • Provide an initial climate evidence base at national and regional level

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Provides a very simple, map-based way to compare past and projected climate conditions across Portugal, directly feeding the country's National Roadmap for Adaptation 2100 — which itself aims to define narratives of vulnerability, adaptation investment needs and the socioeconomic costs of inaction. Its deliberately simple interface supports both policy exercises and public dissemination, but doesn't go into detailed impact or adaptation-option analysis.

Used in

  • National Roadmap for Adaptation 2100 (RNA 2100) policy exercises across Portuguese territorial levels
  • Public education and awareness on climate-change adaptation, led by IPMA
  • Climate evidence for Portugal, including Outermost Regions, at national and subnational level
