"Supporting rural peripheral communities to adapt to the impacts of climate change"


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:

»  Locally relevant climate change vulnerability scenarios

»  Examples of community climate change adaptation strategies

»  Examples of climate change impact visualisations and communication tools

»  Examples of real adaptations made communities

...... and use this knowledge to help establish an affordable, accessible, and relevant, up to date information, training, and advice service on climate change and adaptation for community stakeholders throughout the northern periphery.
