BaltCICA: Climate Change Impacts, Costs and Adaptation in the Baltic Sea Region

This publication provides insight into the BaltCICA case studies: The BaltCICA project has identfied and implemented climate change adaptation measures in various case studies in the Baltic Sea Region. The case studies were also used to explore the still relatively unknown costs and benefits of adaptation. New scientific methodologies to increase the participation of stakeholders in adaptation planning were developed and employed. The 13 BaltCICA case studies focused on specific thematic areas, such as metropolitan planning and adaptation strategies (Hamburg, Tampere, Helsinki and its Metropolitan Region), groundwater and climate change (Hanko, Klaipėda and Falster), the Environment (North Vizdeme, Karklė) as well as scenario development and citizen participation (Kalundborg, Riga, Klaipėda, Tampere, Hamburg).
