This category includes descriptions of options (possible measures and actions) for climate change adaptation.

This section of Climate -ADAPT contains an overview of generic options (possible measures and actions) for climate adaptation, which are based on literature. It is advised to include a range of options for a particular sector from one or several information sources in order to ensure some consistency within the sector. The platform has so far included for example, a range of adaptation options for the water sector (addressing e.g. floods and droughts), from the ClimWatAdapt project.

Researchers and governmental organisations are expected to provide proposals for this type of content.

Note that the description of the implementation of adaptation options in a geographically determined location will be included in Case Studies.

See an example of a Climate-ADAPT adaptation option metadata sheet.
