Latest modifications on Climate-ADAPT

The Centre for Climate Change Impacts Adaptation and Modelling (CCIAM) from the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon (FCUL) has recognizable experience in national and international climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation research projects. Over the past decade, this group has carried large scale academic climate change assessments, but also more focused applied research directed at municipalities, companies and decision-makers

These Guidelines are intended to assist local communities in formulating Local Adaptation Plans (LAPs) or implementing some steps of it, by providing useful theoretical elements together with practical examples taken from the experience gained by the Partners within the ACT (Adapting to Climate Change in Time) Project. In order to make the guidelines as accessible as possible to non-experts and beginners in the field of climate change, in some cases simplifications of concepts and approaches have been used

This study identifies and addresses key challenges concerning Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) for Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). It does so by documenting good practices and good practice principles on the development, selection, and use of indicators used in the M&E of adaptation interventions

Circa 130 participants joined the 3rd Open European Day to learn about adaptation in practice, but also to share their experience through interactive exchange, touch base on their daily work on adaptation, and discuss challenges and solutions. In addition to cities, stakeholders from universities and research institutes, international organizations, national and regional governments, local NGOs, as well as consultancies and freelancers participated

The preparation of this National Progress Report has been undertaken within the framework of the 2013-15 HFA Monitoring and Progress Review process, facilitated by UNISDR and the ISDR partnership. The progress report assesses current national strategic priorities with regard to the implementation of disaster risk reduction actions, and establishes baselines on levels of progress achieved with respect to the implementation of the HFA's five priorities for action

Strengthening Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems and Risk Assessment in the Western Balkans and Turkey: assessment of capacities, gaps and needs   This document reports on a project which aim was to reduce the vulnerability of South Eastern European Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) beneficiaries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo (under UNSCR 1244/99), and Turkey) to natural hazards such as drought, flood and forest fires. It focuses on the meteorological, hydrological and climate services capacities to support disaster risk reduction (DRR) and early warning systems in the IPA beneficiaries of South East Europe

Adapting to climate change raises a large number of research, assessment, governance and implementation issues, often differing from those raised by mitigation policies. The aim of this report is to review the institutional processes for drawing up adaptation policies in five European countries (Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and to highlight the decisive factors for drawing up adaptation policies and measures

Developing countries are increasingly moving towards more strategic national policies and plans, the effectiveness of which will depend upon proper assessment of a given country’s vulnerability to climate change. This report draws upon emerging monitoring and evaluation practices across developed and developing countries to identify four tools that countries can draw upon in their own assessment frameworks: 1) climate change risk and vulnerability assessments, 2) indicators to monitor progress on adaptation priorities, 3) project and programme evaluations to identify effective adaptation approaches, and 4) national audits and climate expenditure reviews

This OECD study examines the role of water and climate change on agriculture. It provides a knowledge base in the interlinkages between climate change, water and agriculture in order to stimulate decision making

The Action Plan is the result of a reflection initiated in 2006 at the IX Alpine Conference organized by the Alpine Convention . The Plan includes 24 objectives in 9 strategic areas, which are: Spatial and land planning Energy: heating energy a key sector in the Alpine space Transport: shift traffic towards more eco and climate-friendly means of transportation Tourism Enhancement of mountain forests and development Preservation of biodiversity Water and water resources Mountain farming Applied research and awareness-raising

The declaration of the Ministers on climate change arised in the context of the IXth Alpine Conference and initiated the Action Plan on Climate Change in the Alps. The main concern recognized by the declaration is that global climate change particularly affects the Alpine space
