The objective of the ADAPT project is to develop and promote adaptation strategies for nutrition and the environment, to mitigate the negative impact of climate change and climate variability. Seven river drainage basins worldwide were selected to allow a comparison of regional and global adaptation strategies.
Projections for climate variability, particularly in terms of precipitation, for the periods 1960-1990 (reference), 2010-2039 and 2070-2099 on a global scale.
reference period: 1960-1990
Changes in food production, food demand and changes in the climate related water situation in the river drainage basins are mapped.
Strategies for all ADAPT river drainage basins are analysed. The strategies aim to allow investments in new irrigation systems and investments and management reforms to improve the quality of the ecosystem to be evaluated.
