Climate adaptation seeks to lower the risks posed by the consequences of climate change, including flooding that arises from extreme rain events. However, when approached holistically it can also be used to create synergies between a number of urban challenges by addressing several areas of urban development at the same time e.g. turning urban areas green, whilst at the same time reducing heat islands. In this respect, Nature Based Solutions (NBS) can play a key role in urban water management and contribute to building cities that are attractive for people to live, work and play in. This white paper features lessons learned from a range of Danish stakeholders within rainwater management and NBS. It is supported by state-of-the art case examples demonstrating how rainwater can be used as a resource to create more resilient and liveable cities. Multifunctional solutions create more resilient and liveable cities A large number of synergies and cost-efficiencies can be achieved when rainwater management is integrated into overall urban planning. Cities around the world are increasingly concerned with becoming more resilient to the effects of climate change, including reducing the risk of flooding and rising temperatures. At the same time, many cities are focusing on securing an ample supply of clean drinking water that can sustain a growing population. Denmark is working towards creating multifunctional solutions which – in addition to managing rainwater and reducing the risk of flooding – also create added value for cities as they contribute to maintaining a sustainable water balance and result in new, attractive recreational areas. Find inspiration for your own NBS projects The content of this white paper is intended as a tool for international stakeholders who wish to gain insight into the many potentials of using Nature Based Solutions, gain an overview of how solutions have been implemented in Denmark and around the world, or who are looking for Danish partners to collaborate with on projects in their own country. We hope you will be inspired. 4 FOREWORD SHAPING TOMORROW’S CITIES THROUGH NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS “Denmark’s experience shows that climate adaptation and rainwater management can be turned into an opportunity to create not only more resilient but also more liveable cities” Lea Wermelin, Minister for Environment, Denmark As the climate changes and the number create more climate resilient cities are well Based Solutions can contribute to making and frequency of rainfall events increases, underway in Denmark where we have had cities not only more resilient to climate so does the need for intelligent rainwater with a national action plan for a National change but also more attractive places to management solutions.

Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark.

  • The National Climate Conference 18Th + 19Th August 2021
    THE NATIONAL CLIMATE CONFERENCE 18TH + 19TH AUGUST 2021 Will the COVID-19 pandemic teach us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”The pandemic, the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis are all signs that we as humans do not adapt to our sur- roundings, but believe, that we can get nature to fit into our needs. Our recent loss of control with nature should make us more humble”. (Andreas Lloyd, Information, 2021) THE CORE MESSAGE FOR THE CONFERENCE Will the COVID-19 crisis show us how to deal with the climate crisis? ”That crises and disasters constitute opportunities for societal learning and innovation is a historically well-known phenomenon. It took place after the Second World War, after the oil crises in the 1970s, the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the Katrina flood disaster in New Orleans in 2005, and after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear and tsunami disaster in Japan in 2011. There is reason to work so that the COVID-19 crisis can similarly become a starting point for learning in relation to dealing with the more extensive climate crisis. ” MC-couple (Climate and Adjustment Council, 2020).
