Description

The Algarve is a region in the South of Portugal subject to various expressions of climate change. The Algarve is a diverse territory committed to the search for new balances of sustainability, development and valuation of its assets.  The main goal of the project is to support the implementation of the Algarve Intermunicipal Climate Change Adaptation Plan (PIAAC). The PIAAC concluded in March 2019, was based on some instruments developed in the Programa AdaPT, including the use of climate data from the Portal do Clima. It produced new knowledge about climate change at regional and local level and, at the same time, identified about a hundred adaptation measures, transversal and sectorial, to increase the adaptability and resilience of population.
