Methodological guidelines for climate impact modelling of tidal wetlands along the East Atlantic Flyway

02/2026 | Guideline

Climate change and extreme weather increasingly threaten coastal wetlands, biodiversity, and livelihoods. Climate impact models can support adaptation and risk management but often fail to capture local conditions. These methodological guidelines support site managers and researchers in developing long-term monitoring and modelling systems for tidal wetlands along the East Atlantic Flyway, with a focus on Banc d’Arguin (Mauritania) and the Bijagós Archipelago (Guinea-Bissau).
