Green strips along the banks of the Lech river allow the riverbed to widen in places in these two sections. This improves access to the water for the populationand provides the opportunity to soften the strongly straightened bank lines by a near-natural design.The measures are part of the project Licca Liber.
The closely adjoining buildings and the necessary measures for securing the river bed of the Lech severely limit the possibilities of a near-natural watercourse design in section 8. In order to achieve the good ecological potential according to the Water Framework Directive nevertheless, structure-enriching elements such as dead wood or groynes should be introduced along the banks and in the river bed as shelter for fish and other water organisms.The measures are part of the project Licca Liber.
In 2007, Bavaria launched the “Climatic Program Bavaria 2020” which includes different measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, adaptation to climate change and the intensification of research and development. A special set of measures known as the “Mountain Forest Initiative” (Bergwaldoffensive, BWO), focuses on the adaptation of the alpine forests in Bavaria to climate change.The central aim of the BWO is to stabilise and sustainably adapt the alpine mountain forests to climate change. For this purpose, 30 projects were identified in areas with special climatic risks.
"The objectives are to create long term conditions for a metropolitan periurban park Confluence (Soutok in Czech) and introduce tools for coordinated and sustainable development of periurban landscapes. The main aim is to create harmony in between supported natural processes, economical interests and the visitors activities. Set conditions for formation of landscapes rich on natural biotop diversity, transparent and penetrable suburban areas with alive flowing river, side by side agriculture, integrated flood protection and management, and economic and sport activities."
Aims of the Demo case<ol><li>Gathering of evidence of the scale of the risk and vulnerability of society, and capacity of natural systems to lower the exposure.</li><li>The justification for & securing of city green ring & blue-green network, establishing of local spatial plans protecting ecosystem service donor areas.</li><li>Defining, dissemination, & adoption by the City the protocols for efficient engagement of blue-green infrastructure in building up the natural capital.</li><li>Identification of key components of
Two major activities were undertaken in Lodz:<ul><li>Elaboration and demonstration of the strategy and technology for restoration of municipal rivers based on natural processes, aiming at: improved storm-water management, increased water retention, and better water quality supporting higher biodiversity and improvement of quality of life.</li><li>Development of the system-wide approach to the city adaptation strategy based on the Blue-Green Network Concept.
"Former floodplains in many European countries increasingly suffer from serious floods due to intensified human activity. These floods have caused safety and ecological problems as well as they have resulted in economic losses in agricultural used watersheds.
This pilot retrofit SuDS project was a result of collaboration between the Environment Agency, Nottingham City Council, Groundwork Greater Nottingham and Severn Trent Water.
The main objectives of the actions implemented in the upper estuary of the Oka River are: (i) Improve the resilience of the estuarine ecosystems to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise and changes in the water regime; (ii) Increase local biodiversity thanks to the recovery of part of the ecosystem's functionality; (iii) Increase the sustainable public use of the natural space of the Urdaibai Biosphere reserve.Restoration activities aiming to recover the previously existing marshland have been implemented in the upper estuary of the Oka River, including the permanent floodin
Following 2011 floods, the Copenhagen Concretization Plans were commissioned to combat climate change. "These integrated, multi-disciplinary plans bridge the gap between planning and site-specific solutions through the application of a typology-based Cloudburst Toolkit.
The “Cloudburst Management Plan” addresses 8 central city catchments (Norrebro, Ladegards-aen and Vesterbro, Valby & Vanlose), encompassing a total area of 34 km². It includes 300 separate projects that are expected to run over the course of the next 20 years."
