Baltic Sea Region Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (BALTADAPT)

The entire Baltic Sea region will be affected by the consequences of climate change. Already today there is valuable experience on how to adapt to the expected changes, but this is fragmented and does not take into account the Baltic Sea as a whole as a special ecoregion. The aim of BALTADAPT is to develop a climate change adaptation strategy that can be used for the entire Baltic Sea region. The focus is on the sea and its coastline. A framework for increased cooperation and more information exchange is to be created in order to improve transnational cooperation. Based on the knowledge base created in this way, an action plan for an adaptation strategy to climate change is to be developed. The project is led by the Danish Meteorological Institute.
