Navigator of Climate Resilience Tools

A curated, quality-checked collection of digital tools supporting every step of the climate adaptation policy cycle - from risk assessment to monitoring and evaluation.

Integrating climate change adaptation across European Union policies is essential for strengthening Europe's resilience to climate change. Since the 2009 White Paper "Adapting to climate change: Towards a European framework for action" and reinforced by the 2021 EU strategy on adaptation to climate change, the European Union has progressively embedded climate change adaptation into a wide range of policy areas, recognising that climate change adaptation and resilience must be considered across sectors and governance levels. Climate-ADAPT supports this process by providing policy makers, planners and practitioners with the knowledge, tools and practical examples needed to inform the development and implementation of climate change adaptation and resilience policies.
