Decision Support Tools

This research programme aims at improving tools for design and evaluation of adaptation strategies with a special focus on spatial planning and cross cutting issues (read more).

The Consortium will focus on three core elements:

tools for formulation of the adaptation task, based on climate scenarios and economic development
tools for development and visualization of adaptation strategies in general and in particular related to hotspots and case study areas of KvK
evaluation and monitoring tools for assessing adaptation strategies in terms of various indicators such as costs and benefits, side effects, equity issues; efficiency and temporal and spatial scales.
