Research Priorities on Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation

Responding to the Climate Change Challenge

To respond to the demand for better coordination of research, PROVIA has led the development of a set of Research Priorities on vulnerability, impacts and adaptation in consultation with both experts and policy makers. The Research Priorities include new and emerging topics, and topics that have long been recognized as important but for which research is still required.

Research Priorities on Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation

The report consists of 33 topics presented in three sections: Information to Support Policymaker Decisions, Systems and Regions and Emerging Topics. Each of the 33 topics includes a description of why the research is needed, followed by several paragraphs describing specific activities that respond to that need. A short bulleted list thereafter highlights representative examples of critical activities from the broader set of proposed activities for each Research Topic. While many of the activities
are specific research tasks, others describe the support needed to conduct scientific research on VIA. An example of the latter includes fostering technological innovation, such as optimizing the integration of remotely sensed and groundbased information.
