In this second newsletter we present you with updated data from
the portal on future sea levels in Denmark, as well
as data from the A1B scenario.
Furthermore, the Information Centre for Climate Change Adaptation
has just completed a questionnaire study of Danish municipalities.
This study gives a good insight into how far Danish municipalities
have come in terms of climate change adaptation; and it is clear
they have come a long way.
One case deals with climate-adapted afforestation. The objective
of the afforestation project north of Copenhagen is to secure
existing groundwater sources against increasing fertilization and
pesticides, and to ensure that the forest is adapted to climate
change. The latter is taking place by planting a mix of
species capable of withstanding the predicted more powerful
storms.
A new research project draws attention to the challenges that will
be facing architects in the future due to climate change.
Finally, a new Baltic Sea project, BALTADAPT, is presented, which
was recently awarded funding support of EUR 2.8 million under the
Baltic Sea Region Programme 2007-2013. The project is being managed
by the Danish Meteorological Institute.
