Centre for Climate Change Impacts Adaptation and Modelling (CCIAM)

Description:

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.

CCIAM carries multisectoral climate change impacts and vulnerabilities assessments on natural resources, including water resources, biodiversity, forests, agriculture, tourism and health. The group also focuses on adaptation to climate change, including topics such as adaptation responses in practice, planning for adaptation, dealing with uncertainties and developing sustainability.
