Adaptation to Climate Change: Effectiveness and Limits
Funds research consortia that build a standard method for measuring how well climate adaptation strategies work and where they hit hard limits.
The Commission wants this work to feed directly into updating the IPCC's own 1994 Technical Guidelines on climate-change impacts and adaptation, not just produce an internal EU framework. The topic also requires social-sciences-and-humanities expertise on the team itself, not only as a subject of study, so the research can deliver a genuine societal impact. The joint governance between the up to t…
The Commission wants projects that assess the effectiveness and limits of climate adaptation strategies across Europe, covering environmental, economic, legal and social criteria in a single comparable framework. Proposals must test that framework on at least six real-world case studies spanning different European regions and sectors.
