Green Paper n COM (2007) 354 final "adaptation to climate change in Europe - options for EU action” n Calls for promoting Europe-wide networks for the exchange and consolidation of knowledge, experience and adaptation in Europe and for facilitating transmission of knowledge from the research community to practitioners n Identifies the need to improve access to existing data, to integrate data relevant for adaptation, to develop long term comprehensive and Europe-wide high resolution datasets and models and to facilitate the enhanced resilience of public and private sectors n A web based platform and database is an appropriate and cost-efficient tool
European Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Clearinghouse… n … will be a decentralised but integrated, one-stop shop webenabled system n … is an entry point for information as well as a two-way communication tool n … provides both substantive information and links to existing web sites n … structures, shares and acts as a facilitator for collecting and disseminating information sources, data and case studies at different geographical levels n … includes analytical tools e. g. to query the actions and measures database and its content along specific criteria
Content of the Clearinghouse n Climate change observations, impacts, vulnerabilities, actions, costs n Provides networking to existing and future thematic and regional networks and organisations (droughts, marine, forest fires, coastal zones, disasters) n Contributes to the implementation of the upcoming White Paper on Adaptation n Supports the coordination of future EU contributions to the UNFCCC Nairobi Work Programme n Includes the results of relevant research projects (e. g. EU RTD or JRC projects) n Goes beyond EU borders (e. g. transboundary impacts)
Links to existing systems n Biodiversity Clearinghouse Mechanism, as a model n Climate Change Adaptation Clearinghouse will be hosted by the EEA – co-ordinated with reporting for EEA and è EUROSTAT è with possible data exchange with JRC (Joint Research Centre) è WISE (Water Information System for Europe) è n developed in accordance with SEIS (Shared Environmental Information System) è INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) è EEA EIONET / Reportnet è reporting data flows and rules, and it has to be compatible with GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) è CLC (Corine land cover) è
