The focus of the Climate-ADAPT webinar was on a specific type of information included in the platform: the case studies. We aimed to: Disseminate the basic features of the Climate-ADAPT case studies: criteria for their identification, structure for their description, development process, and current state of the case study collection

Adaptation   options  are measures and actions that can be implemented to manage  climate  risks to an acceptable level, taking advantage of any positive opportunities that may arise from  climate  change.  Climate - ADAPT  provides a  catalogue  of  potential   adaptation   options  that can be explored by  climate  impacts and  adaptation  sectors of interest

Climate-ADAPT includes much data and information relevant for urban adaptation, including publications, reports, research projects, case studies, and adaptation options that can be used to support local action by decision-makers. In addition, Climate-ADAPT has two specific urban decision support tools that are among the most visited elements of the platform: the Urban Adaptation Support Tool (UAST)   and the Urban Adaptation Map Viewer (UAMV)

One element of Climate-ADAPT is the  Adaptation   Support   Tool  (AST) . The AST has been developed in the context of the EU  adaptation  strategy to  support  and assist users in developing climate change  adaptation  strategies and plans by providing guidance

The UK Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership (MCCIP) is a partnership between scientists, government, governmental agencies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and industry. The primary aim of the MCCIP is to provide a co-ordinating framework, so as to be able to transfer high quality evidence on marine climate change impacts, and guidance on adaptation and related advice, to policy advisers and decision-makers

The IMPETUS project aims at accelerating Europe’s climate change response and turning commitments into concrete action, developing innovative measures to make its regions more resilient. Moreover, the project explores the synergies between climate change mitigation, supporting regional socio-economic growth and stability, and transition of communities to ecological sustainability and resilience

PLOTO aims at increasing the resilience of the Inland Waterways (IWW) infrastructures and the connected land- infrastructures, thus ensuring reliable network availability under unfavourable conditions, such as extreme weather, accidents and other hazards. The goal is to combine downscaled climate change scenarios (applied to IWW infrastructures) with simulation tools and actual data, to provide the relevant authorities and their operators with an integrated tool able to support more effective management of their infrastructures at strategic and operational levels

KNOWING aims at developing a modelling framework to help understand and quantify the interactions between the impacts and risks of climate change, mitigation pathways and adaptation strategies. The framework will be used to assess the advancing climate science and further broadening and deepening the knowledge base is essential to inform the societal transition towards a climate-neutral and climate-resilient society by 2050, as well as towards a more ambitious greenhouse gas reduction target by 2030

Grapevine, olive, cherries and lemons are among perennial crops in the Mediterranean area currently facing climate change. Farmers are changing their practices accordingly

During the last decades, Europe suffered major catastrophic floods along the Danube. Therefore the Flood Directive asks for adequate and coordinated measures to reduce flood risk without conflicting WFD objectives

The overall goal of WaterPro is to develop eco-efficient tools and models for good water quality management and protection for the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) areas . The main focus is in controlling and managing runoffs from agriculture and mineral extraction sites which both are important sectors economically but cause pollution threats to the water and soil environment
