7th EIONET Workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation
EEA, 20th June 2013
Policy Research and Innovation
Developments since mid-2012…• Adaptation-related projects from the last FP7
Environment call – expected to start in November 2013• Impacts of higher-end scenarios• Economics of adaptation to climate change
• Launch of research projects on Strategies, costs and impacts of adaptation to climate change
• Towards the end of several research projects on adaptation• Outputs to be linked to Climate-Adapt
Policy Research and Innovation
• Driving questions: • What do 4ºC and 6ºC worlds look like in
comparison to 2ºC?• What are the consequences of different
adaptation choices?• Key elements
• Multiple climate projections(RCPs) & SSPs, and downscaling experiments
• Global impact models: Agriculture, Water, Biomes, Health, Coastal infrastructure
• Synthesis of impacts at different warming levels, uncertainty and impact emulators
Duration: 48 Months – Consortium of 16 partners, led by the University of Exeter

The HELIX focus areas
Impacts of higher-endscenarios (1/3)
Policy Research and Innovation
• Focus: Integrated scenarios, adaptation measures, climate and socio-economic tipping points
• Key elements• Modelling framework, stakeholder
engagement• Advances in the CLIMSAVE IA platform:
new models, simulation of time- and path-dependent impacts, adaptation and vulnerabilities
• 5 Case Studies: Global, Europe, 3 local sites in Europe
Duration: 60 Months – Consortium of 24 partners, led by the University of Oxford
IMPRESSIONSImpacts and risks from high-end scenarios – Strategies for innovative solutions
Impacts of higher-endscenarios (2/3)
Policy Research and Innovation
• Focus• Impacts, vulnerability, adaptation in
coastal areas• Sea level rise, storm surges, other
climate change impacts
• Key elements• Diverse assessment cases: Deltas,
estuaries, coastal cities • Accommodate and retreat adaptation
strategies, other green options for coastal areas
Duration: 36 Months – Consortium of 12 partners, led by the University of Catalonia
RISES-AM-Responses to coastal climate change: Innovative Strategies for high End Scenarios -Adaptation and Mitigation
Impacts of higher-endscenarios (3/3)
Policy Research and Innovation
• Aim: User-orientated methodologies and evidence relating to economic appraisal criteria to inform the choice of adaptation actions
• Focus on a set of methodological challenges• Long time scales (discounting and future preferences), Adaptive capacity in
economic analysis, Uncertainty, future learning and decision-making, Scaling and transfer (Micro → Macro), Treatment of systemic change
• Set of case studies• Disaster risk management – pan European scale• Project appraisal for flood protection (Czech Republic) and port infrastructure
(Spain)• Policy impact assessment of linkages between reformed CAP and ecosystem
management in the EU• Macro-economic assessment of adaptation strategies in the EU • Economic appraisal of financial support for adaptation from the EU to developing
countries • Toolbox on the economics of adaptation (economic analysts, policy support for
non-economists)
ECONADAPTEconomics of climate change adaptation in Europe

Duration: 36 Months – Consortium of 14 partners, led by the University of Bath
Policy Research and Innovation
Recently launched projects (October 2012)
• Tool-supported policy-development for regional adaptation (ToPDAd) - end September 2015
• Socioeconomic methods & tools for integrated assessments, focus on Energy, Transport, Tourism, Mid - (2010-2050) and long-(2050-2100) term strategy horizons
• Framework for the next generation toolset
• Bottom-up Climate Adaptation Strategies towards a Sustainable Europe (BASE) - end September 2016
• Case Study approach (20 cases), Novel model combinations for combining top-down and bottom-up analysis, Stakeholder engagement, Policy guidelines
• Reconciling Adaptation, Mitigation and Sustainable Development for Cities (RAMSES) - end September 2017
• EU and international cities, full economic costs and benefits of adaptation, strategy development in a sustainability context
