Climate Change Adaptation and Interactive Participation of Stakeholders - first Results of the Project "KLIMPASS AKTIV"

Abstract

During the two foregoing years, a guideline for the development of local climate change adaptation strategies was developed in close cooperation with various stakeholders within a specific district in middle Germany. Based on this guideline, specific adaptation measures have been selected to be realised. This paper gives insight into a new website which is developed in a follow-up project, called KLIMPASS AKTIV. The website serves as information platform for actors involved in the implementation of climate change measures. Textual and map-based information is provided in a convenient way. Apart from the purpose of raising awareness of climate change issues on the local level, the website enables actors to participate actively in planning processes which result from the local adaptation strategy.
