The mission signatory ‘The Province of Drenthe’ would like to invite representatives of the EU institutions and the Mission community to an informative and engaging afternoon event on facilitating the climate adaptation process. During the event, Drenthe will present its collection of adaptation Story Maps, (the ‘Drents AdaptatieBeeld’), which presents a regional narrative of climate effects and impacts on agriculture, nature, recreation, (vital) infrastructure and the built environment.
With the ‘Drents AdaptatieBeeld’ the Province intends to make knowledge and data about climate change and climate impacts available and accessible to the wider community.
Drenthe hopes the Story Maps will contribute to the aim of regional climate adaptation by:
- Enhancing awareness levels of widely varying groups in society,
- Fostering involvement and ownership regarding the different paths to climate resilience,
- Facilitating the achievement of a joint paradigm shift within a diverse stakeholder community.
Besides this presentation, we are also planning to expand the program to create an inspiring afternoon on the subject of data and citizen engagement in relation to climate adaptation. We also would like to be in contact with other European stakeholders and regions. A more detailed program of the afternoon will follow.
