Climate Change Adaptation Measures Toolbox
This page provides a comprehensive and easy to use toolbox of possible adaptation measures. Please select one or more of the group filters below to obtain detailed information on the measures of interest.
Please find more information in the ICPDR Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Adapting hydroelectric management
Implement an effective load management, such as reducing peak demand in periods of short supply by e.g. applying both load and climate condition forecasting models
Reduce energy demand by public campaigns and training on energy efficiency
Adapting management at cross sectoral level
Developing tools to facilitate communication within and between sectors, ministries and institutions, and especially between climate change and biodiversity research and policy communities
Intensification and implementation of the cooperation between land users and the competent authorities for nature conservation, agriculture and water management
Adapting management of agriculture
sustainable use of grasslands
limiting overgrazing of steppe pastures and river valleys which are more vulnerable to the increasing occurrence of droughts
Adapting the infrastructure
Adapting the infrastructure
Adapting water management
Nature-oriented management of surface waters, and if necessary reconstruct them (e.g. through the creation of flood plains or the revival of bayous), to sustain the natural capacity of ecosystems
Operation of reservoirs in such a way as to consider ecological aspects
Considering biodiversity in measures of flood protection and river basin management
