This includes all the latest biodiversity relevantdevelopments within the EEA. It is a good meta-source ofdevelopments across European biodiversity policy andreporting.Database of all relevant European biodiversity data sources.It is a good source of indicators and maps collated fromacross European institutions.Updated site that provides species and habitat specificinformation for sites across the EU (and beyond).The ETC/BD is an international consortium working with theEEA under a framework partnership agreement. TheETC/BD presents expert knowledge and reporting in a rangeof reports and databases.Publicly accessible biodiversity data including speciesoccurrence and taxonomic information. Very detailedspecies specific data source. Good indicator of potentialspecies presence across Europe for use in scoping. It is likelyto require site investigation to confirm occurrences.IPBES goal is to be an interface between the scientificcommunity and policy makers that aims to build capacityfor and strengthen the use of science in policy making. Itsets a mechanism to address the gaps in the science policyinterface on biodiversity and ecosystem services.MACIS (Minimisation of and Adaptation to Climate ChangeImpacts on BiodiverSity) is a research project whichsummarised what is already know about the impacts ofclimate change on biodiversity and developed methods toassess the potential impacts in the future.Information on the Natura 2000 network across the EUMember States.The objective of the RESPONSES research project is toidentify and assess integrated EU climate-change policyresponses that achieve ambitious mitigation andenvironmental targets and, at the same time, reduce theUnion’s vulnerability to inevitable climate-change impacts.http://www.alarmproject.net/alarm/http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/biodiversity/comm2006/bap_2010.htmhttp://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/biodiversity/dchttp://biodiversity.europa.eu/datahttp://www.birdlife.org/datazone/http://bd.eionet.europa.eu/http://data.gbif.org/welcome.htmhttp://www.ipbes.net/http://macisproject.net/index.htmlhttp://natura2000.eea.europa.eu/http://www.responsesproject.eu/60 <strong>Guidance</strong> on integrating climate change and biodiversity into SEA
