Baltic Sea Region Climate Change Adaptation Strategy (BALTADAPT)

Baltadapt project is developing a Baltic Sea Region-wide climate change adaptation strategy. This truly macro-regional strategy will focus on the sea itself and its coastline areas, covering four key sectors: marine biodiversity, coastal infrastructure, fisheries and agriculture, and coastal tourism. While it is understood that such a strategy cannot be adopted by Baltadapt, the project can ensure its preparation and clear the ground for its adoption.
