Rundt 60 personar deltok då Vestlandsforsking arrangerte eit nettseminar om biokol i samarbeid med Forskingsrådet og Kunnskapsparken i Sogn og Fjordane/VRI4. Seminaret retta seg spesielt mot landbruket, der gevinstane av biokol er mange.

Landbruket og kommunane er blant dei som kan ha nytte av ny teknologi for å utvinne biokol frå grønt avfall. På eit nettbasert seminar (webinar) 9. juni kan du få idéar og innsikt frå ekspertar og erfarne praktikarar.

This case are investigating how the reduction of beach availability and increased temperatures will have an impact on the attractiveness of the Balearic Islands as a tourist destination.

"The aim of this case study is to analyze the economic impacts of climate change and adaptation on particular critical infrastructures.

Alt før koronaviruset stod verda på vippepunktet – så kor går vegen ut av krisa? Forfattar og professor Dag O. Hessen er ein av hovudtalarane på årets utgåve av konferansen #Klimaomstilling, der Vestlandsforsking og Noradapt er blant arrangørane. Konferansen blir i år heildigital, med direktesending frå Sogndal 23. september.

The case study will focus on the port of Hamburg and the port of Mannheim, and actors using the ports.

A case study on the implied transborder climate change risks of international supply chains.

A case study on agricultural drought and derivation of adaptation approaches in the Province of Salzburg.

The focus of this study is the emerging research topic of multiple water hazards, which refers to hazardous events that occur simultaneously, cascadingly, or cumulatively over time (see e.g. United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, UNISDR 2016). Traditionally, impacts of water hazards have been assessed separately which may lead to an underestimation of risk (Zscheischler et al. 2018).

Both on land and at sea, communities in the County of Nordland, Norway are embedded, both economically, structurally and culturally to food production in industries such as fishing, agriculture and aquaculture Multiple stressors threaten the future viability of these industries though, of which climate change are but one, if at all recognized.

Expected likelihood of increase of flood and prolonged periods of drought presents a unique challenge to financial institutions and railway sector in the Netherlands, representing both physical and economic risks.

The case study focusses on the Rhine as a "river infrastructure", and how the consequences of climate change pose new risks to river transport such as drought, diminishing the water level.

This case study aims to improve understanding of transboundary climate change impacts that may affect the city of Paris, its urban systems and related climate adaptation and resilience capacities.

Based on previous work with the Rogaland county in doing a limited version of Impact Chain analysis, this case will assist the county in promoting the Impact Chain framework for doing climate change risk assessments at the local level by conducting a pilot-project with one selected municipality (Klepp).

Det internasjonale prosjektet Unchain har opprettet en internasjonal referansegruppe (IRG) der eksperter fra forskjellige land og institusjoner er invitert med. Medlemmene er eksperter fra organisasjoner på høyt nivå og har avansert kunnskap om sårbarhetsvurdering av klimaendringer og tilpasning i ulike beslutningforhold.
