The Adaptation Catalyst is a software tool designed to help overcome the ‘implementation gap’ in realizing adaptive capacity, to get from research and design to actual realization of measures. The AC does this by offering the possiblity to assemble primary information about climate pressure and the adaptive capacity of measures into one overview. This is the information that usually results from climate effect and adaptation options research projects. Added to this is functionality to interactively vary climate pressure and characteristics of measures, and instantly view what the result of these changes are on adaptive capacity, co-benefits and costs. This will help create awareness, help with chosing and planning of measures and support decision making about adaptation strategies.
The Adaptation Catalyst software and user guide can be used free of charge and can be downloaded with the links on this wiki page and can be used free of charge.

...
Adaptation alternatives that are constructed with the AC can be saved and exported in a file format that enables further processing with the Pathways Generator software (Pathways Generator).
The Adaptation Catalyst was developed as part of the STAR2Cs project, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund – Interreg VA 2 Seas Program (https://www.interreg2seas.eu/en/star2cs ).
