Description: The National Adaptation Geoinformation System (NAGiS) is a multipurpose geo-information system that can facilitate the policy-making, strategy-building and decision-making processes related to the impacts of climate change. The system provides information for central, territorial and local administration, for municipalities, for environmental engineers (to develop environmental impact assessments), for the scientific community – and also for all who are interested – about the past and expected future effects of climate change on related fields (agriculture, forestry, water management, tourism, health etc.) and about differences in climate vulnerability within the country. The promoter of the NAGiS project is the Mining and Geological Survey of Hungary (MGSH), which is a governmental institution aiming at supporting the Ministry responsible for energy and climate policy. The system establishment had two phases. The first phase was supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and was implemented between 2014 and 2016. It was aiming at creating the toolkit and uploading several vulnerability assessment results, which were generated by MGSH and the project partners. The second phase – between 2016-2020 – aimed to integrate a large group of new dataset into the system and to create some specific decision support systems for local decision-making. Tha NAGiS has three main pillars: the map visualization system contain hundreds of layers, which show the way different aspects of climate change can affect certain areas of the country. The map visualization system is publicly available without restriction. The GeoDat is a database containing the calculation results based on modelling (exposure, sensitivity, expected impact, adaptive capacity, and vulnerability) with hundreds of data layers. This database-management application was designed for NAGiS with a supporting background database, built in a standardized system. Its content partially overlaps with the map-based database, but it is much more expanded. It is available only for registered users. The metadata system enables users to find the information they need in the quickest possible way. It facilitates navigation through different kinds of information by a complex search interface. In addition, also the new decision support applications are part of the system and the studies and information materials created within the framework of the project are available on the website. The system started providing data in 2016 and ever since it is under development, aiming at improving its tools and data set. The result of the project is – in addition to the database – that NAGiS has started to integrate into the climate-related decision-making in different spatial levels. Our goal is to make NAGiS a widely used system, that can facilitate many different tasks of climate related decision making, and that can constantly innovate and integrate new information and data.
