ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2010/14

Released: 2011/02/15: See the report

Abstract:
This report describes a methodology that allows the vulnerability of habitats within the Natura 2000 ecological network to be assessed with relative ease. The methodology uses metrics for climate change impacts and adaptation potential to determine vulnerability. Its outputs have the potential to indicate where conservation action should be focused.
