1 CPA-Pilots good starters for climate adaptation Leo Adriaanse Rijkswaterstaat Zeeland CPA pilot coordinator

2 Accelerate climate change adaptation process North Sea Region Aim Climate Proof Areas Deliver and promote examples, methods and recommendations Safer, more natural and more prosperous future development 500 m 2

3 The partnership 500 m 3

4 The Results Political Statement Mainstream climate adaptation into EU policies and programmes Cross-sectoral and cross-scale cooperation stimulates climate adaptation with multiple benefits Climate Adaptation Pre-Assessment for policies and projects Memorandum of Understanding 500 m Consolidated collection of experiences and results based on the pilots Climate Adaptation Toolkit Collection of methods and instruments to help Executed pilots 4

5 Overview Pilots Investments Wicken Fen, Great Fen, Titchwell Marsh (GB) Oosterschelde (NL) Implementation plans Schouwen-Duiveland (NL) Arvika (S) Feasibility studies Wesermarsch rural and urban areas (D) Schouwen-Duiveland (NL)

6 Impression Pilots 500 m 6

7 Titchwell Marsh, England Managed realignement Parrinder Hide

8 Wesermarsch, Germany Detailed regional climate change impact analysis (hydrological regime, soil functions, water management system) Joint Vision on Water Management in 2050 Agreement on common principles for water management Inventory of climate adaptation measures Regional Stakeholder Forum

9 Overview Dutch Pilot Area Rotterdam Noordzee Dam Grevelingenmeer Antwerpen Dam Storm surge barrier Oosterschelde Bridge

10 Aim and local partners Raising awareness Delivering practical and inspiring ideas Delivering methods and policy recommendations Dutch partners Province of Zeeland Municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland Rijkswaterstaat Zeeland Deltares Waterschap Scheldestromen Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment

11 Overview studies and plans Pilot Climate Proof Schouwen-Duiveland Analysis Climate Change Effects on the island Climate Adaptation contributions to local projects Study the concept Multilayer Safety focussed on flood proof roads on the island Contribution to strategic vision municipality Pilots/projects to restore and prevent erosion of intertidal areas at the sea-side of the dikes

12 7 4 Projects on a map Sand nourishment Galgeplaat 2 Oyster reef Viane 3 Oyster reef De Val 4 Hanging beaches Schelphoek 5 Saltmarsh protection 6 Restoration tide Rammegors 7 Multifunctional sea defence Plompe Toren 8 Multifunctional sea defence Bruinisse 9 Fresh water availability 10 Multilayer Safety island Schouwen-Duiveland

13 How we have done it Gathering and analysing information on Climate Change effects Dialogue with local people about the local effects already experienced Offering expert knowlegde and climate adaptation ideas and designs to local projects, problems and the strategic vision for the island Working together with schools in educational projects Raising awareness by making an exhibition at the 1953 Flood Museum and being present at local happenings

14 Main effects of Climate Change Wetter and drier periods resulting in less crops Sea-level rise defence reinforcements Eroding intertidal areas New solution Storm Surge Barrier Oosterschelde on the long term Extreme river water discharges making river water storage in Lake Grevelingen necessary when higher discharges coincide with high stormwaters at sea

15 Galgeplaat Sand nourishments, Hanging beaches, Oysterreefs to cope with erosion Viane Schelphoek

21 Fresh water Mg Cl/l in surface bottomlayer Climate Change Effects: Salination of groundwater Salination of surface water Changing fresh water seepage out of the dunes Too much rain or drought

22 Fresh water: optimalisation possible Better use of rain: Enlarging fresh water lenses Draining deep salt water in stead of surface fresh rain water Enlarging fresh water lens by groundwater level steered draining Pilots with salt tolerant crops (e.g. Potatoes) and aquaculture for too salt areas

23 Fresh water: further steps Situation: Farmers have 10-30% drought damage Cooperation nature conservation organisations - farmers Need for tailor-made measures per location and crop Further steps optimalisation water management: Start pilots in different areas Cooperation between farmers, local government, research and nature

24 Multilayer Safety Multilayer Safety: 1. Prevention of flooding (water defences) 2. Smart spatial planning to avoid casualties and damage when flooded 3. Good crisis management when flooded 3 2 1

25 Fast flooding in areas below sea-level Flooded roads Not enough safe shelter locations Multilayer Safety Analysis Inhabitants Shelters Meters below mean sea-level

26 Multilayer Safety Study on strategic options Robust multifunctional water defences: high and dry, connecting safe havens and contributing to recreational area development Dry robust roads when flooded Enough safe accessible shelter locations Develop no or waterproof housing in low lying areas in future Promote awareness and resilience inhabitants (knowing what to do) Use opportunities in future projects (roads, housing, water defences) working towards a resilient infrastructure and inhabitants in case of a flood

27 High roads fitting in the landscape Multilayer Safety Possible Strategy Roads to be heigthened and broadened High dunes Higher ground Towards higher grounds

28 Educational Projects Freshwater strategy project Climate proof building project
