Offline Template for Submitting Case Studies for Climate-ADAPT
This offline template enables Mayors Adapt Signatories to collate and submit Case Studies for the
Climate-ADAPT platform. The Case Studies feature good practice from all over Europe,
showcasing practical action to address the impacts of climate change.
Signatories completing a case study benefit in a number of ways: They give visibility to the action
being taken by a city on adaptation, and will be the main point of reference given by the
helpdesk to journalists requesting information. Additionally, the case studies will form part of a
dedicated Good Practice publication planned by Mayors Adapt for 2015.
