Land use and climate adaptation are a joint task. Especially in view of future challenges: How can we adapt to the consequences of climate change? How can we organise our land use in such a way that current and future generations can continue to live and work well? These are questions that are considered in this exhibition.

The exhibition shows on five posters what consequences climate change and sea level rise can have here in the region. Current land use is analysed and suggestions are made as to what adapted land use options could look like. Information is also provided on the region's water balance. Another poster shows visitors how important nature is for us humans here in East Frisia.

The exhibition also offers fun for young and old: with the COMTESS Mystery Challenge, which is available as an app in the Google Play Store, the valuable East Frisian landscape can be explored on site at the Pilsum lighthouse or from home. The many golden, shimmering and glittering treasures that can be found here in beautiful East Frisia are also sought and found by the little Baroness Comtess (children's book "The Treasure Chest of the Baroness Comtess").

Visitors can watch a total of 7 short films on the development possibilities for the coastal landscape in the face of rising sea levels and climate change. In addition to an introduction and a film about the COMTESS research project, the following questions are considered: What changes in temperature and sea level could take place? What changes will present us with new challenges? What could future land use options look like? What impact will a change in land use have on drainage? How does a landscape affect our well-being?

Visitors can watch simulations on a media table that answer the following questions: How does the landscape change when the water table changes? How will environmental conditions change the provision of ecosystem services in the year 2100 if land use changes? Which regional ecosystem services and valuable landscapes can be found in the Krummhörn?
