Knowledge <strong>and</strong> Information Gaps<br />
• Useful information for local adaptation planning is not<br />
readily available<br />
• Access to <strong>climate</strong> data (e.g., daily GCM) for <strong>use</strong> in<br />
<strong>impact</strong> <strong>assessment</strong> models not easy<br />
• Spatial resolution – finer resolution required<br />
• Interdisciplinary (<strong>climate</strong>, crop, hydrology, economics,<br />
<strong>and</strong> many more) studies<br />
• Education <strong>and</strong> efficient research <strong>and</strong> advisory system<br />
• Policies to support adaptation <strong>and</strong> provide necessary<br />
resources<br />
-> development <strong>of</strong> an integrated toolbox for <strong>climate</strong> <strong>change</strong><br />
<strong>impact</strong> <strong>assessment</strong>s (<strong>climate</strong> downscaling plus <strong>impact</strong><br />
models)
