BSR INTERREG IV BProject Idea


Climate Change and Spatial Planning

How can Spatial Planning support mitigation and adaptation processes to reduce later Climate Change impacts?

Knowledge exists in each (scientific) field Combine knowledge of scientific fields Make available/ cooperate with practical level for

implementation


Climate Change Planning Systems

Climate change factors

Climate Change Planning Systems

FACTORS

IMPACTS

a) country/ regional/ local specific view

b) Similar/ likely: good practices/ experience exchange

c) Joint/ cross border cooperation

d) Long term/ sustainable

MITIGATION

ADAPTATION


Required elements for mitigation and adaptation bySpatial Planning Regionalised climate data and impact data

(„climate knowledge“) BSR/ country/ regional/ local specific information

(„planning system knowledge“) Practical experience

(„practitioners knowledge“)

Project aims and activitiesA) Knowledge/ experience exchange between

scientific and practical actors/ experts

B) Development of joint transferable (partly regional or local specific) solutions and recommendations

C) Dissemination, and education of practitioners


Expected results/ outcome1. Strategic information basis for addressing Climate

Change issues (mitigation and adaptation) in BSR

2. Joint action programs/ guidelines for spatial planning practitioners in BSR on regional and local levels

3. Implementation of actions on exemplary/ selected regional and local level territories of BSR countries and collection of existing good practices

4. Education of regional and local (spatial planning) practitioners on where to get and how to deal with climate change information

5. Website disseminating all useful information in English, and partly national languages


Addressed Priority“4: Attractive and competitive cities and regions“inland and shorelineliving quality and conditionsnature and built environment

“improve BSR’s worthiness of living (i.e. reduced Climate Change impacts) =

higher attractiveness”


Project development stage

“open” for new ideas and skills of partnersdesigning and shaping still possibleimprovement support welcome

“Join the Discussion, help to develop the project idea further for an attractive

BSR!”
