About Climate-Adapt4EOSC

Challenges

Challenges

The CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC project addresses several critical challenges that hinder the effectiveness of climate change adaptation research and action. These include the fragmentation of data across heterogeneous platforms and data spaces, the lack of interoperability between datasets and services, and insufficient infrastructural support for the generation and sharing of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data. Legal and organisational barriers also obstruct access to and reuse of sensitive climate-related data, particularly in cross-border and multidisciplinary contexts. Additionally, inconsistencies in metadata standards and file formats, combined with limited awareness of FAIR principles among data providers, further complicate the integration and usability of climate data. Without addressing these barriers, meaningful collaboration across scientific disciplines and policy domains remains difficult to achieve.

CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC? CLIMATE-ADAPT4EOSC aims to create a seamless, FAIR-compliant research environment for climate adaptation data and services within EOSC. It seeks to improve data accessibility, interoperability and trust through five dedicated frameworks. The project supports stakeholders in integrating, managing and reusing data to inform policies and research. Demonstrations in five EU countries will validate the approach and promote broader adoption.

Solutions

The project delivers two key services: CLIMATE-ADAPTdata4EOSC for FAIR data generation, and CLIMATE-ADAPTservice4EOSC for data analysis and modelling. Tools include a FAIRification pipeline, metadata extraction toolkits, an ontology-based knowledge graph, and interoperability frameworks. Four innovative services—BDAnalytics, OPENHIDRA, 3SES, and Just-CURS—address specific climate risks and enable targeted adaptation actions.
