KLIMAPAKT – Adaptation to Climate Change through Spatial Planning: Basic Concepts, Strategies, Tools
Hintergrund und Ziele
In the Leibniz research project "Climate change adaptations in spatial planning - basic principles, strategies, instruments" (KLIMAPAKT), scientific contributions will be made for the formulation and implementation of spatial planning strategies for adaptation to the inevitable consequences of the climate change, as well as for the development of suitable instruments. Planning approaches for climate protection will also be included, since adaptation and climate protection cannot be regarded as totally independent of each other.
Furthermore, the aim of the project is to promote networking between the pure and applied research of the relevant disciplines, both on an inter-disciplinary level and with current spatial planning practice. Thus, a contribution will be made to the development and structuring of precautionary planning for the adaptation to the climate change at national, regional and local levels.

Schritte im Prozess zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel
Schritt 1: Klimawandel verstehen und beschreiben
Ansatz und Ergebnisse
The project brings together information about global and regional climate scenarios (CLM, REMO, STAR, WETTREG) and discusses the question of how to deal with the uncertainties of regional climate scenarios. In the three case studies of the project a number of regional climate scenarios are used with different time horizons (eg STAR, CCLM).

Schritt 2a: Risiken erkennen und bewerten (Klimafolgen/-wirkungen)
Analyseansatz
The approach of the project is aimed at general insights that can be applied in Germany. The spectrum of the work in the report includes the presentation of the consequences of climate change for different land uses, planning customization options, indicators to measure the vulnerability of land uses and planning strategies and instruments. Case studies will illustrate and confirm the results.
Describe here, which approach for the vulnerability analysis, risks and/or chances is/was used within your project and which results emerged from it or are expected
Ansatz und Risiken / Chancen
In the 2008 - 2010 Leibniz research project "Climate change adaptations in spatial planning - basic principles, strategies, instruments" (KLIMAPAKT), supported by funds from the Leibniz Initiative for Research and Innovation, scientific contributions will be made for the formulation and implementation of spatial planning strategies for adaptation to the inevitable consequences of the climate change, as well as for the development of suitable instruments. Planning approaches for climate protection will also be included, since adaptation and climate protection cannot be regarded as totally independent of each other.
Furthermore, the aim of the project is to promote networking between the pure and applied research of the relevant disciplines, both on an inter-disciplinary level and with current spatial planning practice. Thus, a contribution will be made to the development and structuring of precautionary planning for the adaptation to the climate change at national, regional and local levels.
Schritt 3: Maßnahmen entwickeln und vergleichen
Maßnahmen und/oder Strategien
It identifies opportunities and limitations of the existing spatial planning instruments to adapt to the impacts of climate change in different fields. In addition, the project information provides for the further development of spatial planning instruments.

Academy for Spatial Research and Planning (ARL), Hannover
Beteiligte/Partner
- Leibniz Institute of Ecological and Regional Development (IÖR), Dresden;
- Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK);
- United Nations University, Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS).
The ARL is an interdisciplinary network of experts with scientific knowledge and practical experience in the field of spatial research, development, policy and planning. One of the working groups that is currently active is the group for ""Climate Change and Spatial Planning"". Key to the project is cooperation between different disciplines (research into the impact of climate change, risk and vulnerability studies, planning sciences). This cooperation is communicated to the outside world by the organisation of events and consolidated by the Internet platform www.klima-und-raum.org. This not only helps to improve networks between the various scientific disciplines but also encourages dialogue between players from politics, administration and other interest groups.
