Contract period: 01.01.2009 - 31.12.2013
Budget: 303,657 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

The impacts of climate change have consequences for spatial planning. Timely local and regional level adaptation to climate change can lessen the risks and reduce the damage potential, and thereby decrease the costs of climate change to both humanity and the environment. IMPLAN is primarily provided as a service for planning practitioners, especially at the regional scale, and is thus concerned with transfer and application. The aim is to facilitate the effective transfer of results from KLIFF into planning practice, and thereby promote the implementation of adaptation strategies. This includes suggestions for action and instigations of realisation processes in model regions, and through the development of a networking platform between research and practice. By evaluation of the possible consequences of climate change and establishment of an inventory of available instruments for spatial planning, a risk assessment is being carried out. Thereafter the ‘IMPLAN‘ working network will be built up with a central and interdisciplinary dialog platform, which links KLIFF experts with planning practitioners from different disciplines. The development of adaptation measures is achieved through knowledge transfer and exchange with the planning practitioners.
