• Northern WoodHeat - a Northern Periphery Programme funded project managed by Highland Birchwoods with partners in Scotland, Iceland and Finland.The project began in October 2004 and concluded in December 2007.  The aim of the Northern WoodHeat project was to encourage the establishment of small and medium scale wood fuel supply chains optimising benefits to local communities.
• AdaptAlp - Transnational exchange and cooperation of; risk prevention and risk management methods, reducing uncertainities, efficiency of transnational risk management, the assessment of risks, raising awareness and supporting adaptation actions on local, regional, national and transnational levels,  improvement of knowledge to facilitate decision-making and implementation of pilot activities, and initiating individual adaptation strategies.
• VACCIA (SYKE) will develop a vulnerability assessment of ecosystem services for climate change impacts and adaptation. Expected results include scenario development and derivation, database development, development and documentation of tools for vulnerability assessment (i.e. provision of GMES services based on satellite data), and inventories of adaptation measures.
• BaltCICA (Climate Change: Impacts, Costs and Adaptation in the Baltic Sea Region) is designed to focus on the most imminent problems that climate change will cause in the Baltic Sea Region; changes in the occurrence of floods (river floods as well as storm surges) and sea level rise caused by climate change as well as impacts on water availability and quality can be expected to become imminent. The project will look at the assessment of the impacts, the development, appraisal and implementation of adaptation measures (structural ones as well as organisational and institutional measures), concrete adaptation measures are going to be tested and implemented.
• AMICA - The aim of the European project AMICA is to develop local and regional strategies which adopt a comprehensive approach to climate change. Climate policy should be an optimum blend of short- and long-term preventive and reactive measures, thus reducing future planning risks.
• The CIRCE Integrated Project, funded under the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme, aims to reach this objective, highlighting impacts and possible adaptation actions of the climate change in the Mediterranean region, that includes Europe, North Africa and Middle East.
