Climate Change:
Costs, Impacts and Adaptation in the Baltic Sea Region
Jan Krause Pedersen
Precursory projects and results:
• BSR Interreg IIIB Project SEAREG “Sea Level Change Affecting Spatial Development in the Baltic Sea Region”. 2002-2005
• Decision Support Frame• BSR Interreg IIIB Project ASTRA
“Developing Policies & Adaptation Strategies to Climate Change in the Baltic Sea Region”. 2005-2007
The BaltCICA project… is designed to focus on the most
imminent problems that climate change is likely to cause in the Baltic Sea Region.
The concentration of large parts of the population and many larger cities in coastal areas make it especially sensitive to climate change.
Climate adaptation calls for cooperation and integrated approaches in the Baltic Sea Region
Picture: Veli Suominen
The BaltCICA Project aims
• Assessment of climate change impacts on the living
environment and territorial development.
• Testing and implementation of concrete adaptation
measures in close cooperation between regions or
municipalities.
• Assessment of the costs of rising sea levels and increased
flood risks on a pan-Baltic level.
• Development of a process management concept on
climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Partners• Partners from 8

Case studies
Map: Michael Staudt, GTK
Case studies • Finland: Helsinki City, metropolitan area. Tamperere, groundwater
surface water interactions. Hanko, groundwater resources in coastal area.
• Estonia: West Estonian Coast, flood risk, costs, sea level rise contra isostasi.
• Latvia: Vidzeme and Riga, policy preparation, stakeholders involvement, public awareness activities, national adaptation strategy.
• Litauania: Klaipeda district and city, flood risk, adaptation, groundwater.
• Germany: Hamburg, metropolitan area, harbour, innovativ technologies. Meckelburg-western Pomerania, tourism, beach management.
• Norway: Bergen, flooding/landslides, landuse/transport, agriculture/aquaculture, business development.
• Denmark: Kalundborg and Falster, flood risk, adaptation, nature and water management, costs, public involvement.

Models and scenario workshop• GEUS: Modeling/simulation, IPCC scenarios A2, B2 (35-80 cm sea
level rise, 12-16% more precipitation), groundwater/surfacewater interactions. Leading to: Local scenarios(do nothing scenario, buildings/infrastructural protection scenario, natur restoration scenarion, watermanagement and water as a ressource scenario.
• The Danish Border of Technology (DBT): Description of local scenarios, presentations, two local workshops with stakeholder and one citizen summit, identifing solutions, suggest action plans, method manual.
• The municipality of Kalundborg: Data supply, presentations, costs, interaction between stakeholders and public spatial planners as well as politicians, local political implementation . A small project conference event in Kalundborg with up to 100 participants.
Needs and results (the municipality)
• Models & tools easy to handle for the authorities/practical usable
• Socio-economic benefits and costs of natur/water/climate management (possibilities/limitations)
• Use of digital elevation models(GIS)• Interest priorities• Defining which data is needed for modeling• Paradigmes/guidelines for impact assessment/decision
processes• Good ways to presentation of complex spatial planning
