BASE Adaptation Inspiration Book: 23 European Cases of Climate Change Adaptation

maz — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 10:42:48 +0000

This BASE Adaptation Inspiration Book: 23 European Cases of Climate Change Adaptation is the result of four years extensive case study research carried out within the EU FP-7 Project BASE: Bottom-up climate adaptation strategies towards a sustainable Europe (2012-2016).

Guidelines for EU and Member State policy makers

maz — Wed, 07 Sep 2016 10:08:33 +0000

This report outlines 21 policy-relevant recommendations – and supporting evidence – for policy-makers working at the EU, national and local levels to support adaptation decision-making. The recommendations are based on the combined findings of the BASE project and are differentiated between different policy levels, yet generic enough to be applied to different decision-making contexts. The lessons are based around the following 5 themes:

Strategies for enhancing policy coherence: mainstreaming adaptation into keysectoral and development policies

maz — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 09:09:13 +0000

This deliverable investigates and provides a comprehensive mapping of the processes and interactions linking climate change adaptation strategies to key-sectoral policies across Europe.

Process tool for testing and evaluating future plans for adaptation – using storylines and pathways for adaptation to CC across Europe

maz — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 09:04:03 +0000

This deliverable show how findings from modeling, case studies and the RCP-SSP story line framework can be brought together to inform adaptation policies across Europe using a step by step process tool. The steps of the tool are explained and implemented for 4 regional storylines (Northern-Arctic, North-Western, Central-Eastern and Southern-Mediterranean Europe) and three combined socio-economic and climate scenarios with different adaptation and mitigation challenges.

The Best of BASE

Here is a selection of BASE reports produced within the project.

Each report belongs to a specific project module (or Work Package):

EU- wide economic evaluation of adaptation to Climate change

maz — Mon, 23 May 2016 16:51:58 +0000

Adapting to Climate Change: Comparison of Case Studies

maz — Mon, 23 May 2016 16:47:34 +0000

This document aims to offer a synthesis and discussion of the methodological process and results of implementing climate change adaptation case study research, reporting on the key messages and lessons learnt through a critical comparison of case studies that equally accounts for the stakeholders’ perspectives.

Synthesis of integrated climate policy perspectives

katriona — Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:25:58 +0000

This report evaluates the integration of climate adaptation into the sectoral policy making of the European Commission, particularly following the publication of the European Union Adaptation Strategy. It focuses on integration in key sectors: coasts and marine, agriculture and biodiversity, health and water, with an emphasis on barriers and enablers of integration.

Implementation of climate change adaptation: Barriers and Opportunities to adaptation in case studies

grudik — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:51:12 +0000

This deliverable assesses the implementation of adaptation measures and strategies through the study of their key barriers and drivers. The study categorises drivers and barriers to adaptation for each case study across temporal stages of adaptation progress, and looks at how barriers have been overcome and for patterns to provide recommendations.

Methodological framework for upscaling and integrating bottom-up approaches for European-level analysis

katriona — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:59:09 +0000

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.

Selected integrated assessment models for top-down analysis

katriona — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:52:57 +0000

This objective of this report is to improve selected tools and methodologies for integrated assessment of climate change adaptation costs and benefits.

Participation in climate change adaptation

katriona — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:34:29 +0000

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.

Experiences in bottom-up adaptation approaches in Europe and beyond

katriona — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:29:28 +0000

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.

Uncertainty analysis in integrated assessment modelling

katriona — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 10:15:10 +0000

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.
