7. Decision basis -natural risk management
Information gathering
Geology/geotechnical prerequisites
Protecting structures
Current and historical hazards
Assets (economic, environmental etc.)
Analysis incl climate change
Potential hazards
Potential risk areas
Problem analysis and
risk assessment
Basis for
spatial planning
Decision basis for
adaptation measures
Need for precautionary measures
Constraints for development
Natural hazards ”hot spots”
Protective measures
Adaptation activities

8. Climate adaptation – build environment
identify vulnerability and risk levels
adaptation and reinforcement
permanent and/or temporary
reinforcements

9. Climate change and spatial planning
- planning conditions
(soil and water)
local and regional perspective
long term planning focus
precautionary measures
security and flexibility
