Since the adoption of the Climate Adaptation Action Plan, knowledge about climate adaptation and the information base for the creation of promising action strategies at local and regional level has improved significantly. Nevertheless, there is a considerable deficit in communicating these results from the model regions and municipalities. The nationwide implementation of the knowledge gained in municipal planning practice and the application of the diverse analysis and evaluation tools developed and tested in the research projects often progresses only hesitantly. In particular, small and medium-sized municipalities and cities have neither the financial nor the human resources to continuously inform themselves about current developments, to develop appropriate adaptation capacities and to develop and implement their own adaptation strategies.

Objectives of the project:

• Compilation of central GIS-based tools and offers for regional and municipal practice
• Survey of requirements and criteria for a further training programme on climate adaptation for spatial, regional and land-use planners, municipal decision-makers and administrative employees
• Target group-specific processing of available information and findings
• Development of a didactic educational and consulting concept
• Development and establishment of an information platform
• Implementation of content in offline and online continuing education offerings and concepts
• Testing and evaluation of concepts
• Development of business and confirmation models

PIN is responsible in particular for the development of business models to confirm the further training courses developed.
