After three and a half years of research and collaboration, the DISTENDER project presents its final results. This event is a key opportunity for policy makers, stakeholders and decision makers to learn first-hand about tools, methodologies and recommendations for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
The DISTENDER project has focused on developing comprehensive adaptation and mitigation strategies to address projected future risks and vulnerabilities. Through a participatory approach, DISTENDER has created a methodological framework that generates socio-economic climate scenarios and strategies tailored to specific case studies. These scenarios integrate bottom-up local knowledge with top-down data from global and regional models, ensuring that they take into account unique regional characteristics. DISTENDER has also implemented a set of cross-sectoral and multi-scale modeling tools for climate impact assessment from a physical and economic point of view, based on local climate projections obtained by applying dynamical downscaling techniques. The project has tested its methodological framework and tools in five diverse case studies – from urban to transnational scales – and is supported by five other follow-up cases to improve the applicability and replicability of the methods. The knowledge generated will be shared through a Decision Support System (DSS), which will include the experiences and results of the case studies and will help future users to find climate resilient strategies. The DSS includes a tool for policy makers to rank strategies according to a set of climate-related indicators, in line with their specific priorities and concerns. The project involves 30 partners from 12 different countries, coordinated by the Technical University of Madrid (UPM).
