Strategy for adaptation to climate change

In March 2008 the Danish Government published its "Danish strategy for adaptation to a changing climate".

Climate challenges
The Strategy contains a systematic review, sector by sector, of the climate challenges we are facing. Examples of the adaptation initiatives which have already been implemented are used as a springboard for an analysis of future options.

Consequences and adaptation
A catalogue has been prepared as part of analysis work carried out by the Government, and this describes in more detail the expected impact of climate change for the individual sectors, with an account of the climate and economic assumptions behind the work on adaptation to climate change.

Booklet on the climate challenges of the future and the need for adaptation
The Government has also published a booklet called "Danish adaptation to future climate" about climate challenges and adaptation needs for a number of sectors in Danish society. The booklet describes the main points from the Government’s "Danish strategy for adaptation to a changing climate".
