The Danish Board of Technology Foundation has recently finished a project "BASE" in cooperation with various Danish municipalities and European cities concerning the challenges of climate change.

Despite budgetary challenges, cities and towns across Europe are taking action to put in place measures that will help them adapt to the impacts of climate change. A new European Environment Agency (EEA) report highlights the opportunities open to municipalities to share best practices and how they can support projects like green roofs or expanding city parks to help alleviate the negative effects of climate change.

Climate proofing doesn’t only have to be about digging holes in the ground or expanding drain pipes. By thinking creatively, climate proofing could clear the way for new nature solutions, more outdoor life, and less nitrogen in the water. Nine new projects are providing tangible examples.
