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.
Improved forest management
Establishment of a new systemic inventory
Introduction of efficient forest management
Improvement of information systems
Organisation of flood and reporting services, flood recording and documentation
Upgrading confinement planning in digital format, enabling digital archiving and the utilisation of their information and data base in DSS
Making sure that best available information is taken into account when flood scenarios are reviewed regularly
Implementation of effective public communication systems for managing crisis situations
Improvement and increase of information exchange
Improvement of resistance
Development and application of measures for strengthening the resilience of forests to climate change
Encouraging the diversification of forest stands by favouring autochthonous species that are ecologically resistant; increasing the tree species diversity through transformation of the coniferous ecosystems in mixed forest or broadleaved ecosystems, increasing the proportion of locally indigenous tree species and diversification of the vertical structure; mixed stands and forests with high genetic diversity are less sensitive than coniferous forests (maximally stable, are better able to withstand widespread calamities)
Considering both, use and protection in supporting new infrastructure
