WHAT IS THE ADAM PROJECT?

Funded by the European Commission and co-ordinated by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in the UK, ADAM (Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies: supporting European climate policy) is an integrated research project running from 2006 to 2009 that will lead to a better understanding of the trade-offs and conflicts that exist between adaptation and mitigation policies. ADAM will support EU policy development in the next stage of the development of the Kyoto Protocol and will inform the emergence of new adaptation strategies for Europe.


WHY IS ADAM IMPORTANT?

The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol provide the primary international policy context for the work to be undertaken in ADAM.  ADAM will examine the extent to which existing policy trajectories in Europe will deliver Europe's commitments to these agreements and will co-develop with stakeholders portfolios of policy options where current trajectories are insufficient.
