Climate Change and Climate Risk Information Portals

INFO: Climate change and climate risk information portals are online platforms created by government bodies, environmental agencies, and organizations to provide critical information and resources to help individuals, businesses, and municipalities understand and respond to the impacts of climate change. These portals typically include:

• Data on Climate Impacts: Information on how climate change is affecting specific regions, such as increased temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and the frequency of extreme weather events.
• Adaptation Strategies: Practical recommendations, guidelines, and tools to adapt buildings, cities, and regions to the evolving climate, such as making infrastructure more resilient to floods, heatwaves, or storms.
• Climate Protection Plans: Policies and actions that individuals, businesses, and governments can take to mitigate or reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Collaboration and Networking Tools: Resources to foster information exchange between different actors, such as municipalities, disaster response teams, and environmental professionals.
