Romania's Climate Change Adaptation Platform, RO-ADAPT, is an innovative tool for the substantiation of the national climate change policies and strategy, as well the sectoral ones in the climate change adaptation direction of action.The platform supplies a virtual working environment with access to:
A database updated in real time with climate and non-climate data, accessible through standardized services /APIs;
An interactive map, with an intuitive bilingual interface (in Romanian and in English), which allows interactive exploration of the data sets published on the platform;
An advanced geoportalwith advanced GIS functionalities for data analysis and visualization;
A collection of studies on the categories of products and services specific to the different sectors addressed, including climate indicators specific to each sector that can be used to improve ecosystem services and select and prioritize adaptation measures.

Read moreEfficient processing of increasingly large and diverse volumes of specialized information and data on climate change and those in the fields where they have effects (energy, transport, water resources, agriculture and rural development, forestry sector, tourism, urban systems, biodiversity etc.) represents one of the main problems faced by specialists involved in substantiating policies and strategies for medium and long-term development and planning. It is also very important that key decision-makers have at their disposal multidisciplinary, up-to-date, harmonized and detailed, information that reflects both the current situation and the medium and long-term forecast. RO-ADAPT, under the title of geoportal , offers a series of interactive tools for searching, viewing, downloading and analyzing the data and knowledge published on the platform.
