Helping stakeholders understand climate change impact

In collaboration with partners in the city of Nijmegen in the Netherlands, we held a public digital stakeholder meeting aimed at residents. It was organised as part of the national Warming Up initiative and enabled participants to consider the reality of climate change. This included thinking about what will happen when the sea level rises and what the Netherlands and Nijmegen could look like. A vision of the future for 2100 was shared with, for example, more space for nature, more synergy with the sea and an environment that can withstand rising sea levels. Our input addressed the question of how we achieve this vision of the future and used a governance tool, the sea level test, to assist in this. The meeting provides perspective for adapting in a controlled way instead of reacting to a disaster. For more information click here (in Dutch).
