Climatools

The Climatools research programme consists of a number of projects that, in turn, will lead to eight different tools that will assist decision makers in adapting our society to the consequences of climate change. The focus of the programme is principally on areas such as health, habitation, tourism and outdoor life.

Climate change is a fact. Even if we were to restrict our emissions, our future climate will still be warmer, wetter and more unpredictable - and that future is not all that remote. We are already seeing changes, and the generation born today may experience the greatest climate change in the history of Sweden.

Climatools is run by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) on behalf of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The research programme that began in the autumn of 2006 and is expected to run up to 2011 has a budget of SEK 25 million. Climatools is run in collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology, Umeå University and Uppsala University.
