Low The EA VIA has provided CC impacts (baselines and projections) for key sectors including the terrestrial sector. Various climate decision support tools have been developed that can support sectoral decision making & resilience efforts across national and regional landscapes.

If approved, regional and national proposals for funding can be channeled.
