This report describes the procedure of how to upscale results from case study level to more generalized conclusions on costs and benefits at EU level. The report focuses on water availability, agriculture, floods, ecosystem services, health and cities.
This objective of this report is to improve selected tools and methodologies for integrated assessment of climate change adaptation costs and benefits.
This report investigates the participation process in climate change adaptation for 22 European BASE case studies. A description of participatory methods and a further analysis of 9 BASE case studies where there has been a deliberative adaptation process present are given. Based on the results presented, a set of recommendations to policy-makers and practitioners are given.
This report takes stock of adaptation planning and measures to date in Europe and globally. The report provides a general assessment of 136 selected case studies focusing on aspects including types of measure, stakeholder groups involved, sectors, decision support tools (participatory and economic), and funding sources. A further nine case studies are then explored in more detail in regard to measure selection and methods.
This report is divided into two parts: Firstly, this report proposes a specific method to incorporate different levels of uncertainty related to climate change sciences in the WITCH integrated assessment model. Secondly, this report develops and tests a method to investigate spatial differences in climate change impacts on agriculture in terms of land use changes. The deliverable describes the methodology followed to develop an integrated modelling framework (SARA) that will allow for an integrated analysis of adaptation pathways within the BASE project.
This report describes the experimental setup for the sectoral modelling developed in BASE. The models link to the case studies in two ways. Firstly, they use the data in the case studies for model validation and secondly they provide information to inform stakeholders about adaptation strategies.
This report provides guidance and examples for the economic evaluation of adaptation options. It introduces a stepwise approach and tools which are applied in twenty BASE case studies.
This report produces a comparative analysis of national adaptation strategies in a selected sample of EU Member States. It is split into 3 analytical parts. Part 1 explores the architecture of adaptation policy in different EU Member States through the lens of policy coordination, including knowledge sharing, and explores the tension between top-down and bottom-up approaches. Part 2 compares the climate policy integration rationale underpinning national adaptation strategies to examine conceptual differences between climate policy integration and climate adaptation policy integration.

The aim of this report is to develop the BASE Evaluation Criteria for Climate Adaptation (BECCA). It is a framework and criteria set that can be used to evaluate the implementation of adaptation policies and measures. It is based on existing frameworks and criteria sets for evaluating climate adaptation conducted at international and EU, Member States, sub-national and local level. BECCA was ‘road-tested’ with the BASE WP5 case studies and, on the basis of their feedback, developed recommendation how and for which contexts BECCA can be used.
