National Roadmap for Adaptation 2100 – Assessment of the vulnerability of Portuguese territory to climate change in the 21st century (RNA 2100)

The project National Roadmap for Adaptation 2100 – Assessment of the vulnerability of the Portuguese territory to climate change in the 21st century (RNA 2100) began, coordinated by the Portuguese Environment Agency and financed by an EEA GRANT. This project counts with the participation of elements of the DCT.

RNA 2100 will result in adaptation narratives for the different regions of Portugal, with a view to reviewing guidelines on adaptation to climate change for territorial planning plans and programs, including subnational strategies and plans. In this follow-up, given the transversality of the matter, both at the sectorial and territorial level, one of the main concerns will be to ensure the communication of the RNA 2100 project with the target audiences, gathering the knowledge of this audience and promoting the use of the RNA 2100 results. In the scope, it should be noted that regional seminars and the elaboration of Guidelines and good practices on the integration of adaptation to climate change in the various territorial planning instruments and in the various activities are planned.

DCT professor Pedro Costa leads the task dedicated to the study of coastal erosion, overtopping and susceptibility to extreme events, modeling scenarios for the years 2030, 2070 and 2100 along the Portuguese coast in a context of climate change.
