Case studies
Within Mistra-SWECIA, cross-cutting case studies are focused research efforts, pulling from the different projects. This leads to consistent analysis of climate change and impacts, other drivers of change, vulnerability and adaptation options. The targeting nature of the case studies also promotes end-user relevance. The case studies are at the same time set in a broader context to elucidate the local-to-regional-to-global interdependencies and to faciltate generalizations of the results.

See more about the two first case studies here: Stockholm case study 2008-2009 and Forestry case study 2009-2010.
