DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY INSTRUMENT

Studying the impact of climate change on agricultural loading in different parts of Finland and adaptation to the impact of climate change.


STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION

Completed. (All the elements of the measure have been completed both in terms of time and at all planned locations. If a measure consists of an unlimited continuum of measures, a measure can be regarded as having been completed once the first sub-measure has been completed.)


FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION

The report “Sopeutumisen tila 2017” (‘State of adaptation 2017’, in Finnish) by the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) compiles studies and presents conclusions on the challenges faced by agriculture as the climate changes, and on the timing, permanence and regional distribution of the adverse effects of climate change. The Assessment of Weather and Climate Risks (SIETO) project carried out a national assessment of weather and climate risks and developed a governance model for organising future risk assessments, including assessments in agriculture.
