1 Roadmap 2020: Towards a regional strategy for climate change adaptation Jens U. Hasse FiW Research Institute for Water and Waste Management at RWTH Aachen University European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA) Hamburg, March 18 20, 2013

2 The Project region: The river basins of Emscher and Lippe Emschergenossenschaft Lippeverband area (km 2 ) 865 3,280 Inhabitants (million) Inhabitants per km 2 2,

3 Characteristics and institutions of the project region 11 major cities + 4 counties (= 52 municipalities) approx. 3.8 million people in project region 3 regional administrative boards Water board Emschergenossenschaft/Lippeverband (EG/LV) Regional association Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR) (umbrella organization of the municipalities of the region) 6 chambers of commerce still in transformation(economy, demography) various networks and regional initiatives

4 What is dynaklim? Implementation of innovative CC adaptation in pilot projects Development and implementation of a regional CC adaptation strategy Roadmap 2020 Network of innovation, Platform for cooperation Interdisciplinary generation of knowledge, ideas and concepts of various disciplines Access to and exchange of knowledge, experience and partners for innovative CC adaptation Research partner, Think tank of the region Center of competence and Knowledge broker

5 Why developing a roadmap Regional Climate Adaptation? Knowledge, skills interests and expectations Roadmap 2020 Structured knowledge, common goals, "ownership" of participants for process, clarity on "what", "who, whose ressources and "when" Trust dynaklim network Regional Governance Regional climate adapation strategy

6 The Integrated Roadmapping concept at a glance BACKCASTING Planning adaptation paths and relevant milestones VISION Szenarios and guiding principles, Adaptation needs and paths 2050 SCOPING Fields of work and goals Knowledge and knowledge gaps 2010 TRANSFER Development of measures, planning of implementation (who, what, when)

7 More than 55 partners in the (one) dynaklim network: Ownership?

8 The dynaklim - pilot projects: Places of complex innovations Adaptation to climate change in Oberhausen Water user dialogue Mittlere Lippe WSUD with NBK Dortmund Inter-/ transdisciplinary application and implementation of CCA knowledge at local level Exemplary testing of CCA model solutions Visible development inputs Direct benefit for local partners Wasser sensitive urban development (WSUD) with dynamic urban drainage concepts (NBK) WSUD Duisburg Safe water supply and climate change ADAPTUS Self-check for enterprises

9 Just act? Obstacles and barriers for CCA implementation (selection) Limited availability of space for CCA in cities Lacking (financial) incentives for adaptation Less developed intersectoral exchange and cooperation in local administrations Deficits in knowledge, qualification and ressources in administrations Deficits in the legal framework at all levels Low acceptance for private protection measures

10 Fields of work of RM 2020 Regional Climate Adaptation Capacity development, Knowledge management, Communication Water sensitive urban design/ development Connecting RM results to relevant regional processes, projects, strategies and institutions Climate-focussed economic development in der region Management of competing water user interests Good urban climate for more quality of life in cities Safe water supply and CC Bringing together climate competence of the region (integrated mitigation and adaptation) Relevant fields of work for further development of RM 2020 (recommended by dynaklim) - Health and health precaution - Biodiversity, nature protection - Transport, mobility, logistics -Energyandwaste - Building, real estate - Agriculture, soil protection - Technical environmental protection, disaster management - Tourism, recreation - Education, knowledge transfer until Spring nd Phase? but relevant results until dynaklim-symposium 2013 ( )

11 Continuation of the RM process in 2013, 2014 and beyond dynaklim Pilot projects Roll-out and further development of (almost completed) RM 2012 Roadmap 2020: dynamic further development and implementation of results Lasting dialogue of/in the regional network carrying the RM process Klima-Expo 2020

12 Positioning the network and the RM process in the project region Regional plan Ruhr Regional platform of cooperation Knowledge managers Green Capital Ruhr Ausschnitt Regionalplan.
