Analyses the consequences of an accelerated sea-level rise and intensified extreme incidents (formulated as climate scenarios for the year 2050) and of adaptation options for the natural and the…

The project focuses on determining the effects of climate change on groundwater systems and through this on surface water and water supply. Furthermore, challenges and solutions for engineering…

This report of the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BFN) documents and analyses good practice examples of ecosystem-based approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation in…

Description of a participatory integrated assessment process to develop climate change adaptation solutions for coastal development

The risk of flood disasters is increasing for many coastal societies owing to global and regional changes in climate conditions, sea-level rise, land subsidence and sediment supply. At the same…

Analysis of the influence of bar nourishment on bar development and bar migration

Climate adaptation along soft coasts. Case studies from Europe und the U.S

Method for simulating the extent of flooding as a result of future storm surge events

In certain coastal and estuarine locations, the best and most sustainable way to enhance flood protection is to realign the primary sea defences in a landward direction. This typically involves…

Book in German. Sea level rise is accelerating, threatening the sustainability of the four million people who live in the lowlands and on the islands of the German North Sea coast. This book,…

Resources are limited in the sense that they are not renewable. Therefore it is important that the raw materials are used in a socially, appropriately way.

Coastal communities around the world face an increasing risk from flooding as a result of rising sea level, increasing storminess and land subsidence. Salt marshes can act as natural buffer zones…

Sceenings-tool - where you can find out if the coast is in danger of erosion or flooding

On 17 December 2008 the Federal Cabinet adopted the German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change, creating  a framework for adapting to the impacts of climate change in Germany. It primarily…
