Support regional and local decision makers to cope with vulnerabilities to climate change

15. Example 1 of a related case study
Agroforestry scheme in Montpellier area (France)
Combination of trees (walnut) and crops (wheat) cultivation, improving land productivity and efficient exploitation of resources, including water

16. Example 2 of a related case study
Water Retention Landscape in Tamera (Portugal)
Lakes and of other water retention systems, also including other structures such as terraces and rotational grazing ponds, to cope with increased erosion and desertification

17. Case study sheet Summary
Description: challenges, objectives, adaptation options implemented, solutions, importance and relevance of adaptation
Additional details: stakeholder participation, success and limiting factors, costs and benefits, legal aspects, implementation time, life time, keywords
Reference information: contact, websites, source
Information use to select case studies: sectors, climate impacts, geographic characterization, year
Images and documents

18. Adaptation options
Home/Search the database – select Climate Impacts – then check boxes ‘Droughts’ and ‘Water Scarcity’.
Adaptation options provide a systematic view of measures which are available to deal with expected drought and water scarcity impacts, independently of the specific Climate-ADAPT case studies.
