Summary

This section provides an overview of key adaptation policies, climate data and services, knowledge portals and platforms and key publications. It also includes links to the datasets and contact information.

The Climate projections and services table shows the availability of modelled climate data, including nationally used climate scenarios where relevant. The Meteorological services table provides information on where climate monitoring data can be accessed. Both tables indicate the status of each service and include details on how to access it.
