The costal zone

Adaptation to climate change cannot be solved solely locally and in isolated attempts, but calls for cooperation and integrated approaches in the Baltic Sea Region.

A 3-year project, launched in April 2009 and funded by the EPA, CLAD aims to provide methodological and informational support for decision-makers and stakeholders regarding sustainable adaptation to climate change in Irish coastal areas.

A consistent evaluation of coastal impacts and adaptation at national, regional and global scales is required to satisfy current information needs for climate policy.

Hav möter Land (Sea meets Land) shall contribute to the long-term sustainable utilization of the value represented by Kattegatt and Skagerrak coastal and sea area. Climate, water management and spatial planning are three focus areas of the project.

The project will support national policy making related to the European Floods Directive and beyond. It will enable widespread implementation of local adaptive measures that mitigate flood risk
