Abstract
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified the Mediterranean region as a climate change hot spot. Recognizing the need for timely addressing climate change impacts in Cyprus and strengthening the country’s adaptive capacity, the CYPADAPT project on the development of a National Adaptation Strategy was initiated in September 2011 and was successfully completed in March 2014. CYPADAPT utilized a range of models within a multidisciplinary expert team and assessed impacts and adaptation strategies on water, energy, infrastructure, coasts, tourism, forestry, agriculture, ecosystems services, and health. This paper includes the most strategic results obtained from the CYPADAPT project.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
