Maps and Graphs

This guide provides you with clear information about important information related to climate change. You will learn what causes it, what are its already observed effects, what manifestations we can expect in the future and it also contains much more. The Climate Change Guide was created thanks to the cooperation of a group of co-authors who, as part of their work in the CzechAdapt project, created a clear material providing sufficient information on the issue.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select a climate topic, indicator or map (e.g. average annual air temperature)
  • Explore historical, present and forward-looking climate information
  • Read narrative explanations of climate-change causes and impacts developed under the CzechAdapt project

Output

  • Maps and graphs of climate indicators
  • Datasets and indicators
  • Plain-language narratives explaining climate-change causes and effects

Use it to

  • Understand what causes climate change and its already-observed effects in Czechia
  • Explore projected future climate manifestations
  • Build general awareness of hazards affecting agriculture, biodiversity, forestry, urban and water-management sectors
  • Support the early "preparing the ground" stage of adaptation planning

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Pairs technical climate maps and datasets with accessible narrative explanations, making it one of the more general-user-friendly tools in the collection (high accessibility, minimal technical knowledge needed) — useful for building shared understanding before more technical risk-assessment work begins. Its focus stays on climate indices and trends rather than detailed impact or adaptation-option analysis.

Used in

  • Public and professional climate-change awareness-raising in Czechia, developed through the CzechAdapt project by the Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences
  • Evidence base for agriculture, biodiversity, forestry, urban and water-management sectors
