This book presents the best practices necessary to embed climate change adaptation in the planning processes among the Adriatic coastal communities. Six coastal regions, which are distributed in the Northern, Central, and Southern Adriatic Basin in Italy and Croatia, were taken as reference areas. The book also introduces the state-of-the-art climate change adaptation strategies envisioned or implemented at national and regional governance levels in Europe. Additional details at the sub-regional scale were included in the analysis where possible. Moreover, these strategies were compared to the…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This book presents the best practices necessary to embed climate change adaptation in the planning processes among the Adriatic coastal communities. Six coastal regions, which are distributed in the Northern, Central, and Southern Adriatic Basin in Italy and Croatia, were taken as reference areas. The book also introduces the state-of-the-art climate change adaptation strategies envisioned or implemented at national and regional governance levels in Europe. Additional details at the sub-regional scale were included in the analysis where possible. Moreover, these strategies were compared to the current and future climate trends on the Adriatic scale, in order to concentrate adaptation efforts on the expected risks.

Based on the collected strategies, integrated with a further literature review extended to areas outside the Adriatic Basin, the book promotes a novel database of adaptation actions that includes targets, actors, expected results, and the timing for implementation. Such a database, called the Climate Menu, is publicly available on a web platform designed for the needs of public authorities and other stakeholders to undertake the reduction of climate risks.

Eleonora Gioia is a research fellow and an adjunct professor at the Università Politecnica delle Marche (UNIVPM) (Ancona, Italy). She holds a Ph.D. in civil and environmental protection at the same university, for which she collaborated with the Civil Protection of the Marche Region in Italy and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Golden, Colorado, USA. She worked on the European project "Landslide", in collaboration with the University of Camerino, to develop landslide forecasting models, and on the European projects LIFE "PRIMES" and Interreg Italy-Croatia "RESPONSe", with UNIVPM. She is currently working on the analysis of the adaptation responses and perceptions of local communities to climate change impacts.

She holds a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Protection from UNIVPM, for which she collaborated with the Civil Protection of the Marche Region and the United States Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado, USA. She worked (i) on the European project "Landslide", in collaboration with the University of Camerino, to develop landslide forecasting models, (ii) on the LIFE "PRIMES" and Interreg Italy-Croatia "RESPONSe" projects, with UNIVPM, for the analysis of community perceptions and responses to climate change, and (iii) on the "Submerged Landscapes. Geographies of the climate crisis in the Italian coastal areas" project at the Sapienza University of Rome. Her current research focuses on disaster risk reduction and adaptation of local communities to climate change impacts.
