Clim-ATIC will develop, and create a sustainable, self-financing service to disseminate, knowledge to support the sustainability of rural communities across the Northern Periphery, enabling them to adapt to likely direct and indirect impacts of climate change. During the project, community stakeholders will work in partnership with public sector and academic institutions to explore the potential for different community sectors to develop adaptation capacity, and deliver real adaptations under priority themes for the Northern Periphery, providing local economic and social advantages.
