Peripheral Regions |
Final and intermediate objectives Activities in regions: |
Clim-ATIC is a three year, 2.4 million Euro, international project that has been awarded project funding of 60% by the European Commission’s Northern Periphery Programme. This exciting new project will involve community stakeholders working in partnership with public sector and academic institutions from five regions of northern Europe to explore the potential for different community sectors to develop adaptation capacity, and deliver real adaptations that will provide local economic and social advantages. Climate change adaptation is
“any
action taken to minimise the adverse effects or to take advantage of
any beneficial effects of climate change”*
* Climate Change – the UK Programme (2006)
