Description:

FOR CLIMADAPT "Adaptation of the Mediterranean forests to the climate change" is an European project of cooperation co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). It aims at encouraging initiatives and innovative experiments for an adapted management of the Mediterranean wooded ecosystems to the current and upcoming impacts of climate evolutions, particularly the risk of erosion, fire and decay, around four complementary approaches: (i) the development of observation systems and monitoring changes in ecosystems; (ii) developing an "adaptive forestry" to protect biodiversity while maintaining the economic value of populations (e.g. by promoting on mixed and irregular stands, local origin adapted species, etc.); (iii) development of methods for ecological restoration and reforestation of degraded land by erosion, fire or dieback; and (iv) information, awareness of society and improving governance.
