Latest modifications on Climate-ADAPT

NetworkNature is a resource for the nature-based solutions community, creating opportunities for local, regional and international cooperation to maximise the impact and spread of nature-based solutions. The project is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme

weADAPT is SEI’s pioneering, user-led platform and network for climate change adaptation. For 15 years, weADAPT has been bringing together a dynamic, global community of people and organizations involved with adaptation research, policy and practice

The research consortium CHAMPS studies the potential impacts of climate change on health, with a focus on three interrelated topics: The first relates to mental health impacts associated with seasonal fluctuationsin the intensity of daylight and modifying weather effects such as cloudiness andsnow cover. The second concerns health impacts of thermal stress, both heat and cold,and the influence of social vulnerability and exposure of the population on the severity of impacts

TransformAr aims to demonstrate solutions and pathways, deemed essential for climate and social resilience to achieve rapid and far-reaching transformational adaptation. The project is developing an adaptive process based on open innovation, user-friendly and accessible climate data services, actionable solutions and large-scale experimentation

LIFE BAETULO is a pilot project where a novel technology, an Integrated (and multi-hazard) Early Warning System, is applied for the first time in a city, in this case in Badalona (Spain), with the objective of reducing the exposure and vulnerability of citizens and other urban assets to climate-related hazards by providing anticipated information and alarms that allows taking preventive and proactive actions to minimize direct and indirect impacts and damages derived from climate change. The Integrated Early Warning System implemented through LIFE BAETULO project consists of 4 main blocks: Data gathering: continuous monitoring to predict and identify climate derived hazardous events

A Health National Adaptation Plan (HNAP) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a plan developed by a country’s Ministry of Health as part of the NAP process. HNAP development is critical for: ensuring prioritization of action to address the health impacts of climate change at all levels of planning; linking the health sector to national and international climate change agendas, including an increased emphasis on health cobenefits of mitigation and adaptation actions in other sectors; promoting and facilitating coordinated and inclusive climate change and health planning among health stakeholders at different levels of government and across health- determining sectors; and enhancing health sector access to climate funding

The most serious threat facing the North Sea Region is climate change, increasing flood and coastal erosion risk from storm surges in coastal and estuarine areas and heavy rain causing flooding of rivers and lakes inland. Building with Nature is an emerging complementary concept where natural processes help to keep us safe against coastal erosion and flooding

The main objective of the LIFE UrbanStorm project is to increase the climate resilience of Estonian municipalities, especially their ability to manage flash flooding caused by heavy rainfall. The project will facilitate the development and implementation of integrated approaches for climate change adaptation strategies and action plans, at  local, regional and national levels, prioritising, where appropriate, ecosystem-based approaches

Both direct and indirect effects on human, plant and animal health are expected from climate change. Direct effects results from changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods.

Several energy transmission and distribution companies in the UK have begun to take the impact of increasing temperatures into consideration for the long-design of electricity distribution infrastructure. Rising temperatures can impact power lines by reducing their thermal rating (i

The Saimaa ringed seal is an extremely endangered seal species only found in Saimaa, a large lake complex in eastern Finland. There are slightly over 300 individuals currently in the wild

Spessart is a highland area with a range of low wooded mountains, in the states of Bavaria and Hesse in Germany. It is bordered by the regions of Vogelsberg, Rhön and Odenwald

A diverse array of ocean-related phenomena occur today and more are expected to emerge in the future as ocean risk evolves in response to the observed and accelerating warming, acidification, oxygen depletion and other man-made threats to the ocean. This report aims to raise awareness of potential insurance industry-related impacts of these interconnected threats and the important role the industry can play in managing emerging ocean risks, seizing new opportunities, and helping to make the industry, the global economy, and society more resilient and responsive to the consequences of a rapidly changing ocean

LIFE@Urban Roofs will encourage real estate developers and building owners to invest in climate change adaptation. This new approach will see the local government acting as a stimulator and facilitator

The website of the  Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Agriculture, Nature Conservation and Consumer Protection of the German State of North Rhine-Westphalia provides information about regional adaptation policies. The adaptation strategy is presented as well as a number of projects that were initiated by the ministry

Open Data Infrastructure for City Resilience has been developed as a resource for city officials with responsibilities that include urban planning, risk reduction, resilience building and civil contingency. It has been designed, therefore, to help cities to integrate open data policies and infrastructure into their wider city data strategies and the development of their resilience action plans

The Quick Risk Estimation (QRE) tool has been designed for the purposes of identifying and understanding current and future risks / stress / shocks and exposure threats to both human and physical assets. The QRE Tool is not a full scale risk assessment, rather a multi-stakeholder engagement process to establish a common understanding

The report analyses the case of Fehmarn islands (Germany) providing adaptation solutions to 3 local relevant climate change issues: water supply, coastal flooding and urban heat.

Historically, the Regge was a free-flowing shallow lowland river which meandered through a landscape containing marshes, wet meadows and sandy levees. To facilitate shipping, from 1848 onwards the river was straightened by cutting off meanders, and the river channel was deepened and widened

The poor ecological state of the Tullstorp stream (southern Sweden) and the recently experienced adverse weather events, with extremely wet and dry periods and related impacts for the agriculture sector, led the Economic Association of landowners of the Tullstorp river basin to take action. A first restoration project started in 2009 with the main goal to improve the ecological status of the stream, solve flooding problems and facilitate the overall management of the water resource

This report is a contribution from the public health community to support the negotiations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It was written at the request of the President of the 23rd Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP23), Prime Minister Bainimarama of Fiji, to the World Health Organization (WHO) to prepare a report on health and climate change, to be delivered at COP24.

This report showcases global findings from the 2017/2018 WHO Health and Climate Change Survey completed by national health services.
