The mobile team on climate change adaptation supports municipalities in planning and implementing adaptation
Denmark

The Danish government has requested that all municipalities prepare actions plan for climate change adaptation by the end of 2013. Guidelines prepared by the government describe how municipalities can manage the task. A mobile team on climate change adaptation was established in February 2012 within the National Task Force on Climate Change Adaptation at the Danish Ministry of the Environment. The mobile team can be called upon free of charge to support municipal authorities for guidance and e.g. to facilitate collaboration between municipal authorities and other stakeholders in the connection with preparing municipal climate change adaptation plans. By end of 2013, the mobile team had had meetings with 75 of the 98 municipalities in Denmark, organised several regional meetings and facilitated workshops and meetings with politicians, policy-makers and citizens.

Danish municipalities also participate in dialogue forums set up by the Ministry of Environment for climate change adaptation. These forums have engaged a wide range of players from the business community, research institutions and municipalities in an open and inclusive decision-making process that provides inputs for new legislation and support creation of synergies between sectors and actors.
