Description
The CLIMRisk project focuses on a specific transitional area (NUTS II), strategically located between the southern plains and the northern mountainous area, which intrinsically experience the influence of the complete set of risks characteristic to both regions. Building upon the published research and the technical ability of the created consortium, CLIMRisk proposed the integrated study of climate variability and evolution (2041-2070), coastal erosion, rivershed water quality (Nabão and Lis rivers), biomonitoring and flood risk assessment, forest fire hazards, thus building upon the created knowledge base to propose usable tailor made adaptation measures. The outputs of the project clearly benefit the scientific community and inherent educational mainstreaming, whereas directly targeting organizations dealing with the general public, and environmental education. Furthermore, is of utmost relevance for policy makers, decision-makers,and stakeholders,as a valuable tool in developing suitable adaptation measures, which hopefully will reduce their harmful effects at a regional scale.
