DRIAS climate

DRIAS – Les futurs du climat is France’s national portal for accessing regionalised climate projections for adaptation planning. Developed under the National Adaptation Plan and coordinated by Météo-France with scientific partners, it provides reference climate scenarios (including TRACC) and derived indicators. The platform combines interactive maps, downloadable datasets, and analytical tools, enabling users to explore future climate conditions at territorial level. It also offers guidance, diagnostics, and user support to facilitate interpretation and use. Overall, DRIAS functions as a science–policy interface, linking climate research with practitioners and decision-makers working on climate impact assessment and adaptation in France.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Explore regionalised French climate projections, including TRACC reference scenarios
  • Select derived climate indicators and territorial-level views
  • Use interactive maps, downloadable datasets and analytical/diagnostic tools, with guidance and support to aid interpretation

Output

  • Maps and graphs of regionalised climate projections
  • Datasets and indicators at territorial level

Use it to

  • Explore how heavy precipitation, flooding, heat, drought, fire/wildfire, cold waves and snow/avalanche may change across French territories
  • Build a national, science-based climate evidence base
  • Support the "preparing the ground" and risk-assessment stages of adaptation work in France

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Functions as France's central science-policy interface for climate projections, combining official reference scenarios with strong user support (guidance, helpdesk and tutorials). Its underlying data has no systematic update cycle and it provides no nature-based-solution, cost-benefit or just-resilience functionality.

Used in

  • National Adaptation Plan-related climate impact assessment, coordinated by Météo-France with scientific partners
  • Agriculture, forestry, mountain areas and tourism sectors, at national, subnational and outermost-region level
