The Challenge

To start a sustainable stakeholder/policy process:

– towards a shared and well coordinated climate change adaptation strategy,

– for the water management of the international Meuse basin,

– based on state of the art knowledge about the system, and

– motivated by the current momentum AMICE has created

Output /goal• Roadmap for climate adaptation in the

international Meuse basin, that:– Gives an overview of the main challenges for climate

adaptation in the international Meuse basin– Prioritizes actions and investments to take by policy

makers– Is developed by an interdisciplinary team of experts

and policy makers with representatives from all Meuse countries.

– Is a good basis for transnational actions and policy processes after AMICE

• 15-20 selected participants– From all countries– Diverse sectors– Mix of experts and policy

makers

• English language• Parallelly WP1 meetings

with AMICE partners

Approach

project:– Action 3,6,7,8– Guidelines/lessons learned WP 2 and 3– Other relevant knowledge from outside AMICE

• Group discussions and participatory exercises• Common development of roadmap contents

When• Preparation in 2011• Workshops 2012 (depending on end date AMICE)

Practical issues• Financing workshops• Participants• “small” Differences from poposal (f.i. calculations,
