Abstract
This study evaluates the adaptation needs of grape growing regions at the global scale. We only consider changes in climate variables as drivers, and recognise the limitations of excluding numerous social and environmental changes. However, this assessment has novel features which are of interest for developing policies that may drive adaptation. We use two climate scenarios at 0.5º resolution forced by two emission scenarios, to estimate the transition of potential vineyards in the mayor grape production world areas by the late 21st century. Here we present and discuss the analysis of three impact indicators aimed at exploring the benefits of transition-based policies. A drought indicator provides insights to prepare for extreme events in probabilistic terms. Two temperature indicators provide information on the transition towards suitable zones of production.
