Climate Change Adaptation Measures Toolbox
This page provides a comprehensive and easy to use toolbox of possible adaptation measures. Please select one or more of the group filters below to obtain detailed information on the measures of interest.
Please find more information in the ICPDR Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Establishing cooperation between stakeholders
Increase the co-ordination between water and agricultural policies
Establishing research programmes
Finding a proper way to deal with uncertainties
Close relationship between climate change mitigation and adaptation: Adaptation cannot replace climate change mitigation; achievement in mitigation efforts can help to reduce costs of adaptation
Establishment of a scientific infrastructure
for the purpose of investigation of the impact of climate change on biodiversity, terrestrial ecosystems and the sea
for training experts on the issues of climate change and implementation of modern technologies
establishing a data base
strengthening the scientific and research capacity
Establishment of coordinated research programmes, e.g.
Promotion of scientific research on extreme events to gain an improved understanding of droughts, leading to systems which “trigger” different levels of response
Research into the risk management aspects of drought management
Process, statistical and operational systems research to develop improved criteria and tools to identify the onset
