Report on climate analysis and vulnerability assessment results in the pilot region (Sardinia region) and in the areas targeted in action

Description

The report represents the first deliverable of the LIFE MASTER-Adapt Project. The main objective of the report is to provide the knowledge base in terms of climate-related threats, expected climate change impacts and the vulnerability to those impacts required as input information for the adaptation target setting at Regional and sub-Regional level. The Report describes the procedure adopted and the results achieved by performing past and current climate trends analysis as well as climate projections and by assessing the Regional vulnerability of Sardinia as well as the vulnerability of the target areas.

The first part of the report describes the analysis of trends and future projections of climate variables over Sardinia Region and the target areas. For this purpose both mean and extreme data of temperature and precipitation have been processed. The second part describes the vulnerability assessment of the Regional and target areas.
