    This indicator represent the pressure on coastal ecosystems due to climate change on a scale of 5 classes from very low (1) to very high (5). The assessment of climate change pressure on coastal areas correspond to ESPON Climate indicator 'Aggregate impact of climate change on Europe’s regions'. It is based on a weighted combination of physical, environmental, social, economic and cultural potential impacts of climate change.

  • This indicator represent the pressure on marine ecosystems due to climate change on a continuous scale of intensity from low to high. The pressure on marine ecosystems due to climate change was determined by a composite indicator based on the combined influence of two variables: sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies, where the temperature exceeds a threshold value like the long-term mean (differences in anomaly frequency between 2000-2005 and 1985-1990), and sea level rise (SLR), which show the sea level rise trends in mm/year.
