EVOLVING REGIONS – Climate Adaptation in rural regions
Developing adaptation measures to be prepared for the
future impacts of climate change is a major effort for all of us. Evolving Regions provides a framework in which a wide range of different actors join forces on the road to a climate resilient future in rural areas.
In the Evolving Regions project seven participating regions in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) and one in the Netherlands are enabled to develop and implement integrated and innovative solutions
for the challenges of climate adaptation. The method of Evolving Roadmapping acts as a procedural framework, which could be transferred to other regions in Germany and Europe. The overall project is coordinated by the Social Research Centre of the TU Dortmund University, forming a broad and interdisciplinary project consortium together with six partner institutions.
Evolving Regions has three specific aims:
- Self-empowerment of the participating regions to become climate resilient,
- integration of climate adaptation into local and regional planning processes and
- knowledge exchange and rollout of the roadmap procedure providing an innovative approach for dialogue formats with local actors, exemplary
strategies and bundles of measures as well as monitoring concepts for other regions and service providers of the climate adaptation economy.
