Participatory mapping
of potential adaptation
measures
with local stakeholders.
The first participatory
session of the scenario
workshop, including key
local stakeholders, took
place in July 2014.
The aim was to elicit the
most strongly perceived
effects of climate change
in the present and near
future and to discuss
potential measures,
e.g. sustainable forest
management, enhancing
ecosystem connectivity and
resilience. At the same time,
the stakeholders created
several storylines of potential
future development in
the area considering
plausible demographic,
economic and environmental
changes. After eliciting this
information, future adaptation
scenarios were finalised
to serve as the basis for
ecosystem-service modelling
with the InVEST suite
of modelling tools.
A second session with
stakeholders took place
following the finalisation
of the results of the Green
Roof case study in November
2014 to disseminate the
results and discuss their
implications.
The Outcome
of Action
Since the adaptation process
in Czech Republic is mostly
top-down, the actual implementation
of specific adaptation
measures will depend on
the implementation of National
Adaptation Strategy, which
was adopted in October 2015.
The adaptation activity on the
regional and local level has
been very limited hitherto.
