  3. National adaptation • The base for adaptation to Climate Change (universities sponsored by the Belgian Science Policy Office) • CCI-Hydr (http://www.kuleuven.be/hydr/CCI-HYDR.htm) • CLIMAR (http://www.belspo.be/belspo/fedra/proj.asp?l=en&COD=SD/NS/01A) • Report “Evaluation of climate change impacts and adaptation responses for marine activities” • Focus on coastal protection, fisheries and tourism

  7. Regional aspects: Wallonia 2011: CC IVA Assessment study (≈ 200 000€) Vulnerability assessment to current climate + Regional climatic projections based on ENSEMBLES Impacts & Vulnerability assessment to future Proposals of adaptation actions Results : validated by experts consultation & feeding regional plan http://airclimat.wallonie.be/spip/Nouvel-article,231.html

  8. Regional aspects: Wallonia 2012: Vulnerability to CC Diagnostic Tool dedicated to cities • Objectives: • local CC IVA assessment : scaling down from the regional assessment • Information exchange : between regional & local level • Sensitisation of cities – raising of awareness (first step of a local action plan) • Scientific Base • High degree of precision • Friendly use Availablesoon : June 2012

  9. Regional aspects: Flanders FlandersEnvironment Outlook 2030(http://www.milieurapport.be/en/home/)

  10. Regional aspects: Flanders • Flemish adaptation plan • Sectorial : written by the different departments from the Flemish government (Water, Environment, Nature, Industry and Services, Energy, Transportation, Tourism, Agriculture, Fisheries, Built Environment, Health, Development Cooperation) • Major themes: • Climate Reflex • Research and Monitoring • Awareness • Balanced water • Healthy Soil • Robust Nature • Slim building • Economic Strengthening

  11. Regional aspects: Flanders • Sectoral studies • Water studies • applied : 2005 Sigmaplan +60 cm sea level • Agricultural Study • Spatial planning • “LNE adapteert” (adapting environment, Nature and Energy) • Subject studies • Socio-economic study:Adaptation to climate change : overall cost and practical examples

  14. Regional aspects: Flanders • Investment byflemishgovernment (IWT) • VR1 : Integrated assessment of spatial climate change impacts in Flanders – Mirrored to the Dutch experiences. • VR2 : Methods for future land-use projections for Flanders http://www.ccaspar.ugent.be/index.php/Over-Ccaspar/Categorie/Rapporten

  15. Regional aspects: Brussels and Federal government • Studies • Brussels region • similar to Walloon study • final report end of June • Federal government • starting soon • Included in the tender help to develop federal adaptation plan.

  16.
