Impact of climate change on agriculture in Northern Norway and potential strategies for adaptation
This study evaluates the effects of climate change on agriculture in Northern Norway. It is based on downscaled climate projections for six different municipalities combined with interviews with farmers, advisors and administrative personnel in these municipalities. The projections document large cl...

The main predicted climatic changes include increasing temperatures and precipitation as well as increased frequency of certain types of extreme weather events.
