Climate change impact assessment
We prepare climate change impact assessment studies on various areas to assist in strategic decision making.
About the project
VITCLIMA has been a project in which the impact that Climate Change may have on Spanish vineyards has been analyzed, with the aim of enabling viticultural actors to carry out better planning and to minimize the negative impact caused by it, enhancing the positive aspects.
A methodology has been used that consists of generating scenarios of indexes of viticultural interest at local scale through the application of FICLIMA, a downscaling methodology developed by the FIC.
Objectives
Phases of the work process:
- Evaluation of the most appropriate indexes of viticultural interest for the study based on the meteorological information available.
- Generation of local-scale future climate projections of temperature and precipitation.
- Generation of future simulations of the indexes of viticultural interest defined in previous steps.
With the information obtained during the execution of the project, the most appropriate indexes of viticultural interest for the study area were selected.
Funded by
Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge through grants to third-sector entities or non-governmental organizations that carry out activities of general interest considered to be of social interest in the field of scientific and technical research and environmental protection under state jurisdiction. This research has been funded by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge but does not express its opinion.
