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.
Task

For Each of the 5 regions do the following :

Identify the Key Climate Risk Portals in your Region: Each region usually has its own governmental and environmental bodies responsible for climate risk management. These might be state agencies, national environmental offices, or dedicated climate adaptation portals. (see table below)

For each identified portal, collect the following information:

  • Portal Operator: Who runs the portal (e.g., a federal agency, state agency, or NGO)?
  • Link to the Portal: A URL to access the portal.
  • Content Overview: Summarize the key information available on the portal. For example, does it provide climate risk maps, adaptation strategies, or research findings

Future Climate and Climate Risk Warning Tools

INFO: Future climate prediction and climate risk warning tools are platforms designed to help governments, organizations, and individuals anticipate and prepare for the impacts of climate change. These tools use data from climate models and real-time weather systems to provide information on future climate scenarios and warn users about potential environmental hazards. Such tools are essential for:

  • Long-term Climate Projections: Predicting future climate trends based on different greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
  • Real-time Weather and Risk Warnings: Providing immediate notifications on natural disasters, environmental risks, and extreme weather conditions.
  • Sector-Specific Impacts: Illustrating how climate change might affect key sectors like energy, water, and health
Task

Identify future climate prediction and weather and climate risk warning tools relevant to your region (All 5 pilots).

Germany Climate Service Center Germany GAGERICS (Climate Service Center Germany) has published climate outlooks for all 401 German counties, districts, and independent cities. Each report summarizes key climate indicators such as temperature, heat days, dry days, and heavy rain days over a few pages. The projections cover the 21st century, offering three scenarios: one with significant climate protection (RCP2.6), one with moderate climate protection (RCP4.5), and one without effective climate measures i.e High emissions scenario (RCP8.5) Klimaausblicke für Landkreise
Germany Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) This portal illustrates the potential impacts of climate change on Germany across various sectors, including climate, agriculture and forestry, water, energy, tourism, and health. Users can explore various parameters such as temperatures, crop yields, or wildfire risks. The portal provides data for the period 1901-2010 (observed data from the German Weather Service) and 2011-2100 (simulated data from the Impact2c project). Selected parameters are displayed as color-coded maps of Germany, with three integrated zoom levels offering more detailed views at the state or county level.

The portal includes three future climate scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, and RCP 8.5), based on different levels of greenhouse gas emissions for the period 2011-2100. These scenarios help visualize how varying levels of emissions might affect different regions and sectors in Germany
