CONTRIBUTION AT THE LIFE EAU&CLIMAT PROJECT

Grand Est Region is particularly involved in the following actions:

  • Development and validation of decision support tools -> expectations and recommendations for tools
  • Facilitating access to hydro-climatic data -> specification of needs in terms of data and indicators, identification of the data that can be monitored in the context of a citizens' observatory with the development of a data collection procedure and the setting up of a internet portal dedicated to it, construction of synthetic indicators allowing the members of the CLE (Commission Locale de l’Eau - local water commission responsible for drawing up, revising and monitoring the application of the SAGE) to take ownership of the climate change issues in its territory and to define an adequate action programme.
