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.
Research
Studying wood-harvesting techniques
Exploration of possible wood uses under new climate conditions
Intensification of multidisciplinary research of climate change impacts on forests
Additional research and monitoring in the field of climate change impacts on forests, vulnerability and Adaptation
Experience and knowledge exchange between science and practice
Research on the vulnerability to climate change, on necessary data to assess the impacts of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems, the sea and biodiversity
Establishment of a priority list of habitats and species, which are sensitive to climate changes
Investigate synergistic effects of climate change and other pressures on biodiversity and ecosystems and integrate measures that utilise these synergies between nature conservation, climate protection and adaptation (e.g. where measures make use of the carbon storage function of wetlands)
Research on new plant species resistant to climate change
Research and development of new sorts and hybrids and/or halophytic crops (which can be irrigated with brackish water)
Research, development and application of production technologies on plants that are tolerant against water stress, or which adapt to different climatic conditions
