The PROVIA Guidance, published in November 2013, aims to meet a growing demand for knowledge on climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation. It provides clear technical guidance that combines robust science with explicit consideration of user needs at the local, national and international levels, in both developed and developing countries.

REGION OVERVIEW The Central Asia region includes: Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic. Stretching from Afghanistan in the south to Russia in the north, the landlocked region boasts an ethnically and linguistically diverse population of 65 million people, and already suffers from significant climate change. Economic conditions and
„As we move in a world with increasingly changing climate, international trade of good, sufficient storage facilities and market information are curcial to prepare for multiple interruptions in production systems around the world.“
RD2 employs various climate and impact models at global and regional scales. These models have been continuously improved and results have been validated over recent years. They have also been linked to integrate climate impacts across different sectors.

Cities are the habitat of humans. Globally, more and more people live and work in urban areas and our research recognizes that changing environments and anthropogenic dynamics are closely related. To a large extent the solution of climate and sustainability crises can only be resolved through cities. Considering the overwhelming
The quantification of climate risks at the regional scale will be improved and provided for end-user oriented applications. This includes new modelling methodologies for extremes, quantification of uncertainties along the impact modelling chain, and development of useful climate service solutions. Systematic model intercomparisons will be coordinated for the hydrological and
We investigate how changing forest productivity, disturbances and management influence forest resilience and the contribution of forests to a growing bioeconomy. More specifically, we study the role of changing forest processes and disturbances as well as adaptation and mitigation measures for determining forest and ecosystem resilience.
