ADAPT2CLIMA Decision Support Tool

Description

The aim of the ADAPT2CLIMA Decision Support Tool is to enhance understanding of climate change and its impacts on agriculture in order to support farmers, policy makers and other relevant stakeholders (agronomists, agribusiness industry, etc.) in adaptation planning.

The impacts of climate change on crop performance, water availability and on the agricultural sector in general are presented through interactive visualization maps and graphs by means of the ADAPT2CLIMA Tool. Moreover, the tool may be applied to explore the available adaptation options for addressing climate change impacts and their efficiency in increasing the resilience of agriculture. The tool has been developed in the framework of the project LIFE ADAPT2CLIMA - Adaptation to Climate change Impacts on the Mediterranean islands’ Agriculture, which is co-financed by the LIFE programme for the Environment and Climate Action (2014-2020).

The tool is currently applied in Cyprus, Crete (Greece) and Sicily (Italy) but it may be used by anyone wishing to develop a regional adaptation strategy for the agricultural sector of Italy, Greece and Cyprus, through the "apply the tool to your area" feature.
