The Climate Challenge

The municipality of Kalundborg has approximately 12,000 residents and is situated on the western corner shoreline of Zealand, Denmark. While municipalities on the west coast of Jutland are used to dealing with storm surges from the North Sea, this and other coastal areas have previously been better protected from surges and have dealt with them less frequently.

Impact of changes in temperature, precipitation and UV on Health (United Kingdom)

The Climate Challenge

In the UK, the main climate-related health threats are summer heat waves and droughts; flooding and associated mental health issues; interactions between air pollutants, pollen and higher temperatures; deterioration in food and water quality; and increases in vector borne diseases. Beyond the direct physical health impacts, however, there is the challenge of the short and long term impacts of climate change on mental health disorders (e.g. depression and anxiety) and the associated financial costs.

Adaptation to Drought in Alentejo, Portugal

katriona — Thu, 02 May 2013 09:15:35 +0000

The case study was conducted in Alentejo, a southern region in Portugal that is characterized by a semi-arid Mediterranean climate. Alentejo is particularly vulnerable to drought and desertification and the area has a low population density which constitutes an additional barrier to economic development. While some users have benefited from irrigation infrastructure and services, other regions depend on rain for their agriculture and agroforestry sectors. Both user-groups (irrigated and non-irrigated) face different challenges in relation to climate change adaptation.
