Policy and Governance

• KLIMAP - we are setting up living labs to develop new governance models and farming practices to deal with climate induced drought.
• European Topic Centre - Climate Change Adaptation - Preparation of the 2020 report on Governance of local climate adaptation.
• 3R Kenya – Analysis and recommendations for food security programmes in Kenya to support the agrifood sector transformation in the transition era from aid to inclusive aid and trade.

Climate services and science-policy-practice dialogues

• SINCERE strengthens open international climate change research and innovation cooperation involving European partners in support of the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement, including in the broader context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster reduction and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
• PLACARD - H2020 project to set up a platform to share knowledge and enhance collaboration between climate change adaptation & disaster risk reduction research, policy and practice communities.
• Flanders Climate Portal - local authorities have difficulties to get access to climate information and to make use of it in their policy practice. The Climate Portal Flanders aims to bring the fragmented knowledge together in an easy to access and to understand way. WENR has developed the website that is now actively used by Flemish local authorities to design adaptation plans.
• Climate portal Les Wallons s’adaptent: contribution to the development of the Wallonia Climate adaptation portal.
