Framework for Climate Change Adaptation of Agriculture and Forestry in Mediterranean Climate Regions

Planning the adaptation of agriculture and forestry landscapes to climate change remains challenging due need for integrating substantial amounts information. This information ranges from scenarios, geographical site information, socio-economic data several possible measures. Thus, there is an urgent have a framework that capable organizing strategies measures in sectors Mediterranean climatic regions. Additionally, this should provide cause effect relation with vulnerability adequately support development planning at municipal local (farm) level. In context, we propose test evaluate sectors, based on causal-effect between level reduction achieved areas. The was developed combination DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressures, State, Impacts, Responses) Vulnerability frameworks reviewed 162 practical measures, further organized into strategies, complemented by set efficacy indicators. tested 70 stakeholders six stakeholder workshops two farms one study, are now actual implementation monitoring. composed eight which clustered assessed using evaluation framework, 96% considered its content as good or very 89% final outcomes good. Finally, also used assess compare presented plans three case studies. On average, 52.2% selected studies dedicated Ecosystem Resilience, 30.9% Adaptive Capacity, 9.1% Microclimates, 7.4% Protection, 0.3% Mitigation strategies. effective supporting farm levels useful frame reduction. Future can contribute these using, developing streamlining additional different socio-ecological contexts.
