A structured network for integration of climate knowledge into policy and territorial planning (ORIENTGATE)
Start date: Jun 30, 2012, End date: Dec 30, 2014,
The OrientGate project will foster concerted and coordinated climate adaptation actions across the SEE region. The project will explore climate risks faced by coastal, rural and urban communities; contribute to a better understanding of the impact of climate variability and change on water regimes, forests and agro-ecosystems; and analyse specific adaptation needs in the hydroelectricity, agro-ali ...

Development and application of mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures for counteracting the global Urban Heat Islands phenomenon (UHI)
Start date: Apr 30, 2011, End date: Apr 29, 2014,
As population of our cities grow, so does land area and this result in increase of an average temperature. The buildings and roads absorb temperature produced during the day, like giant heaters, and store it. The energy is then released during the night time. This often means a big difference in the temperature between city and its surrounding areas.This phenomenon is called the Urban Heat Island ...

Drought Management Centre for South East Europe (DMCSEE)
Start date: Mar 31, 2009, End date: Mar 30, 2012,
Droughts have dramatically increased in number and intensity in some parts of Europe. The vulnerability to drought impacts in South East Europe (SEE) is higher in comparison to neighbouring regions. Ineffective water management is seen as the fundamental problem and can induce additional problems when drought occurs. Droughts have become a strategic issue in SEE. National focal points of the UN Co ...

CARBON balance drafting and new resources management tools according to Kyoto PROtocol (CARBON-PRO) (CARBON-PRO)
Start date: Mar 31, 2006, End date: Dec 30, 2007,
Areas used by agriculture and forestry are important for storing atmospheric CO2, which is a by-product of employing conventional sources of energy. It is also one of the greenhouse gases mainly responsible for global climate change. An adequate management of agriculture and forestry resources might help to reduce the impact of CO2 emissions. In the Kyoto Protocol some strategies have already been ...
