The impact of climate change on different regions vary greatly, but the lack of a coherent knowledge base for adaptation has long been a challenge.
In 2012, Climate-ADAPT was established as a partnership between the European Commission and the European Environment Agency to support climate-change adaptation in Europe (fig.). Climate-ADAPT provides information on projected climate change in Europe, vulnerabilities based on current status and projected future impacts in different regions and adaptation areas, cross-national and EU adaptation strategies, case studies of adaptation strategies and potential adaptation options, and tools to support adaptation planning.
The European Union Climate Change Adaptation Strategy showcases the functionality of a one-stop shop for adaptation information in Europe, with Climate-ADAPT information providing a key element in decision-making.
