FAIR to Adapt to Climate Change

Project description

Building climate resilience through smarter data sharing

Climate change poses risks to European communities, requiring robust adaptation strategies to protect ecosystems, economies and public health. However, fragmented data and limited interoperability across regions hinder coordinated action. Often, valuable insights remain inaccessible to policymakers and researchers seeking evidence-based solutions. Addressing this data-sharing challenge is essential for creating flexible and responsive adaptation frameworks. In this context, the EU-funded FAIR2Adapt project is advancing climate resilience by transforming data into actionable knowledge. By collaborating with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), FAIR2Adapt builds a user-friendly, interoperable data-sharing platform using FAIR Digital Objects and tools like the I-ADOPT framework. Through case studies and stakeholder engagement, FAIR2Adapt develops customised, scalable solutions for climate adaptation.

Objective

The FAIR2Adapt is a multidisciplinary project geared towards transforming data into actionable knowledge to shape climate adaptation strategies. By leveraging and collaborating with EOSC, we fully tap into the EOSC's wide range of services, the FAIR Implementation Framework Catalogue of Resources, and align with the EOSC interoperability framework. We adopt FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) by using RO-Crate and nanopublications as key implementation tools. We use semantic bridging strategies, such as the I-ADOPT framework, and tailored FDO services to build a collaborative, user-friendly FAIR and open data sharing framework. Rich case studies will co-develop FAIR Supporting Resources in alignment with the FAIRification framework and demonstrate the impact of FAIR and open data sharing on climate change adaptation, and strategically support the EU Mission’s objective of enhancing climate resilience in European regions and communities. Through transfer cases and collaboration with other initiatives, FAIR2Adapt extends its reach to additional contexts, showcasing its scalability, sustainability and applicability beyond the project’s completion. A significant aspect of the FAIR2Adapt project is stakeholder engagement and capacity-building activities, which will be instrumental in raising awareness and devising customised solutions. By transforming data into flexible, practical, and resilient climate adaptation strategies, FAIR2Adapt constructs a scalable and extensible model for data sharing that can be adapted to multiple climate adaptation scenarios. The impact of FAIR2Adapt will span across scientific advancement, economic resilience, social-environmental wellbeing, and responsive policy development, fostering multidisciplinary cooperation, enhancing trust in science, and stimulating a climate-smart economy. Ultimately, FAIR2Adapt intends to build a more resilient, inclusive and knowledge-based society capable of efficiently tackling the challenges of climate change.
