Work packages
§
WP 1
Transformation of climate change data sets and
impact studies into regional planners´ needs, coordination
of workshops and reports.
Strategic focus of WP1 is to enable sound cooperation between
natural sciencists and regional planners concerning effects of
climate change on spatial development.
WP1
aims to produce a discussion platform that defines guidelines
for scientists how to present data to enable its incorporation
into spatial planning.
§
WP 2
Impact analysis of climate change effects for regional planning purposes.
Strategic
focus of WP2 is to assess the impacts of sea level rise, increased
precipitation and changes in river discharges also considering
land uplift and subsidence in the BSR, regional and local level.
WP2
aims to produce topographic and thematic maps showing flood
prone areas due to sea level rise and increased river runoff
for assessment of socio-econmic and environmental effects.
§
WP 3
Local decision support system including thematic maps of risk areas in Stockholm, Helsinki, Pärnu, Gdansk and Vorpommern
Strategic
focus of WP3 is to produce an environmental and socio-economic
impact assessment and management tool that clearly depicts areas
threatened by potential floodings and assists in defining safety
measures.
WP3
aims to provide a flexible tool that assists cities in finding
the appropriate measures to deal with the manyfold impacts of
sea level rise, such as flooding, groundwater contamination,
erosion risks and others.
§
WP 4
Tools for spatial planners and the Committee for Spatial Development of BSR concerning actions to face the effects of climate change.
Strategic
focus of WP4 is to find a definition of appropriate actions
to deal with the socio-economic and environmental impacts of
climate change in the BSR.
WP4
aims to produce assessment tools that address the impacts of
climate change and endorse the sustainable socio-economical
development of the BSR.
