Climate-ADAPT aims to assist users in the uptake of the adaptation information stored in the platform, and to support decision making on adaptation in Europe at all governance levels and for all steps of the adaptation policy cycle, contributing to a greater level of coordination among sectors and institutional levels. Climate-ADAPT also aims to assist information providers in sharing knowledge to build a consistent and updated knowledge base.
Climate-ADAPT knowledge is used across Europe in a variety of policy processes supporting decision making at different levels. The following table shows an overview on these processes supported by the use of Climate-ADAPT in 17 exemplary cases across Europe. Details of all cases can be downloaded here or individually from the table.
