"Supporting rural peripheral communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change"
Synopsis:
Clim-ATIC will support community stakeholders to work in partnership with public sector and academic institutions to explore the potential for different community sectors to develop adaptation capacity, and deliver real adaptations under priority themes for the Northern Periphery, providing local economic and social advantages.

This project will bring together new and existing knowledge and experiences on how rural communities can better increase their capacity to make, and implement adaptation decisions:
Clim-ATIC will establish an international sustainable, self-financing service to disseminate, knowledge to support the sustainability of rural communities across the Northern Periphery, enabling them to adapt to likely direct and indirect impacts of climate change. The new service is now avialable on www.climatechangeadaptation.info More...

Each region has now produced locally relevant climate change vulnerability scenarios. A variety of climate change impact visualisations and communication tools have been used to enable a range of community groups to identify the impacts that are relevant to them. In appropriate cases this has lead to the development of either stand alone community climate change adaptation strategies, or adaptation strategies that are integrated with mitigation, energy or tourism strategies.
Clim-ATIC is currently implementing 12 adaptation demonstration projects under 4 themes:
From these projects, transnational lessons were learnt and recorded about how local capacity development could be better supported, through increased knowledge, policy changes or funding.
All this knowlege has been written up as case studies, recorded as podcasts and incorporated into training material on www.climatechangeadaptation.info
