Climate change adaptation strategies in the Baltic Sea Region – Uptake article

The ESPON-TNO programme organised a virtual Peer Learning Workshop (PLW) with ESPON researchers and academic and Baltic Sea stakeholders on the 5th of May. The current progression of climate change makes the preparation of climate adaptation plans and implementation of adaptation measures increasingly urgent and necessary at all levels. The process of drawing up such plans and the process of implementing actions is a common challenge for the Baltic Sea Region cooperation framework. In the framework of the recent EU Adaptation Strategy and the EUSBSR (The European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region) Action Plan as a reference for monitoring development processes in the region, the workshop aimed to develop a discussion with stakeholders from the Baltic macro-region and ESPON-related researchers to discuss strategies for dealing with climate change.
