Adaptation Atlas
Description:
The Adaptation Atlas is a dynamic mapping tool, developed by Resources for the Future, in collaboration with a diverse network of partners. The Atlas brings together diverse sets of data on the human impacts of climate change and adaptation activities across the themes of food, water, land, health and livelihood to help researchers, policymakers, planners and citizens to establish priorities for action on adaptation.
Objectives
The Atlas brings together diverse sets of data on the human impacts of climate change and adaptation activities across the themes of food, water, land, health and livelihood to help researchers, policymakers, planners and citizens to establish priorities and act on adaptation.
This tool offers many things to a diverse set of users. The creators envision the Atlas as:
- A strategy building tool for policymakers, donors, businesses as well as those interested in practical action on adaptation.
- As we progress towards collecting more downscaled and sub-national level data, we hope that the Atlas will enable planning for adaptation strategy — for national, regional and local governments.
- For researchers, we hope that the Atlas provides a comprehensive look at the current state of science on the human impacts of climate change, and allow them to realign their research agendas.
