DESCRIPTION

The presentation briefly introduces the concept of, and the current and future needs for climate change adaptation in Northern Europe. The presentation goes on to summaries the activities and outputs of the Clim-ATIC, a Northern Periphery Programme funded project supporting climate change adaptation by a number of communities in 5 counties; Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Greenland from January 2008 to February 2011. [Presentation made by Clive Bowman, Centre for Mountain Studies, Perth College UHI at the UHI Climate Change Summit on Friday 11th June 2010]

Can we adapt to Climate Change ?

What do we need to adapt to? - communicating and understanding impacts

Thinking of solutions - brain-storming and sharing ideas, win win

Planning the adaptations - resources, risk and cost

Making the adaptations - showing by example, breaking down barriers
