In the project acronym, the word CLIMA represents the fight against climate change, NAT stands for nature and the efforts to preserve it, and RES refers to restoration, which is essential for enabling nature to adapt to sudden climate changes. The project is implemented by eleven partners from six european countries:
Overall aim is to produce seamless habitat suitability models & maps for the region, apply them to climate change scenarios, produce decision support tools to underpin restoration mapping, test their applicability and work out their applicability in seamless restoration planning in the region. Tasks are arranged into 3 Specific Objectives:
- Modelling for climate-proof restoration planning and ecological corridor management
- Building capacities for local planning of climate-smart habitat management and restoration
- Ensuring uptake of the project results for adaptive restoration and resilient ecological corridors
