The 98 Danish municipalities are right now finalizing their
action plans for climate change adaptation. More than half of the
plans have been through a public consultation and the rest will
catch up during the spring 2014. Each plan includes a flood risk
mapping and sets the priorities for the local climate change
adaptation measures.
Climate adaptation technologies
In December 2013 climate adaptation technologies were presented at
the webportal. The input concentrate on technologies related to 1)
normal rainfall and cloudbursts 2) sea level rises and 3) emergency
preparedness. Read more about technological solutions here
Implementation of the EU Floods Directive
The second step of the Directive includes the preparation of flood
hazard maps and flood risk maps for the ten risk areas identified
in Denmark under step one. Flood hazard maps and flood risk
maps are now available on the internet.
