<p>The scientific evidence conveys the clear message that climate is changing and that this change will impact the water cycle and water resources in Europe and world-wide. European water managers are implementing the Water Framework Directive (WFD), the main instrument in EU water protection. Climate change impacts will affect and interact with WFD implementation activities at different states in the process. Climatic variables are the root of many of the parameters that influence water resources and therefore it is important to consider climate change when aiming to achieve the WFD objectives (good status of all waters). This project aimed to support WFD implementers by providing different options how to include the different challenges coming from climate change in the different planning cycles of the WFD.</p>&#13;
