Klimatilpasning Denmark

Summary

Klimatilpasning.dk is the central climate change adaptation portal for Denmark and has aggregated all relevant national information into one page. It includes future climate projections and potential impacts of climate change in Denmark including data on variables such as temperature, precipitation and sea level. The page includes national plans and strategies, partnerships and networks and international adaptation plans that Denmark is subject to. The page has also gathered various tools that enable mapping or modelling future changes or calculating projected costs or benefits of adaptation. The page provides guidance for municipalities and public utility providers.

Klimatilpasning.dk also has an English version. The goal of the English version of the portal is to provide information on how climate adaptation is regulated and implemented in Denmark, as well as to offer guidelines for international visitors and English-speaking residents. The portal features knowledge, practical advice, interactive tools, and a catalogue of projects that can serve as inspiration for everyone.
