New climate - new life?
Most experts agree on, that the sea around us will rise as a consequence of climate changes. When that happens it will affect nature, agriculture, houses etc. along the coastline. The planning and initiatives that shall take account of the water rise is almost absent in regions and communities. The purpose of the project carried out by the Danish Board of Technology was to draw attention to the consequences of the climate changes, so that these consequences can be considered in long-term planning. As a part of the project the Danish Board of Technology arranged two scenario workshops in Næstved and Ho Bugt, where local actors gathered to discuss the future planning in the two local areas considering the water rising half a meter. A newsletter reporting on the project has been issued (see link below).
