Development and testing of an integrated regional climate adaptation programme for the model region Dresden (REGKLAM)
Table of contents
The aim of the project is the exemplary development and testing of a cross-sector, cross-branch, and cross-level integrated regional climate change adaptation programme for both the economy and the community in the Dresden area. Therefore, the project should answer the following questions:
- Which changes of climate or extreme weather events have to be taken into account in the urban environment?
- Which social fields and industrial sectors are especially affected?
- How can negative impacts of climate change be prevented or mitigated?
- What are appropriate adaptation innovations and how can they increase the social and economic welfare of the region?
- How can relevant stakeholder be involved to develop an appropriate adaptation strategy to the impacts of climate change?
For more information please see: www.regklam.de. REGKLAM is one of seven projects of regional climate change adaptation that are funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research project “KLIMZUG – Regions adapt to climate change” (http://www.klimzug.de/). Within the project the chair of Business Administration especially Environmental Management and Accounting works on two subordinate projects:
Subordinate project 1: Climate change adaptation and innovation strategy for the regional economy
Within this subordinate project, different climate change adaptation and innovation strategies for the regional economy are developed, with the major focus on small and medium-sized companies. Thereby, decision support tools for adaptation to the impacts of climate change shall be provided for small and medium-sized enterprises. Different methods are applied within a triangulation of methods.
Subordinate project 2: Scenarios for economic change
The second subordinate project deals with the development of local scenarios for economic change. Thereby, directions and strengths of different impacts of future climate change will be illustrated from a sectoral perspective. Meteorological scenarios are integrated into economic and business scenarios to identify the vulnerability of specific industrial sectors. Furthermore, recommendations for policy decision makers should be developed.
