Setting the Scene for a Call for Action<br />
The <strong>Wadden</strong> <strong>Sea</strong> is one of the forefronts where climate challenges<br />
become a dev<strong>as</strong>tating reality. In order to reverse course, we need<br />
to tackle many challenges at the same time. <strong>Water</strong> As <strong>Leverage</strong> is a<br />
pre-project approach geared towards integral and pro-active project<br />
proposals that can cope with such a challenge. It aims to enable the<br />
needed exchanges between different stakeholders to formulate and<br />
develop resilient solutions that prevent crises, rather than react to them.<br />
“Numerous challenges come together<br />
in the <strong>Wadden</strong> <strong>Sea</strong>. Tackling them one<br />
by one makes no sense. We will have<br />
to deal with them in an integrated way.”<br />

Chair of the <strong>Wadden</strong> <strong>Sea</strong> Board (2018 - 2022)<br />
In collaboration with the Rich <strong>Wadden</strong> <strong>Sea</strong> Program, the trilateral<br />
<strong>Wadden</strong> <strong>Sea</strong> Board and local partners in the <strong>Wadden</strong> islands and<br />
co<strong>as</strong>tal cities of Texel, Terschelling, Harlingen, Emden, Esbjerg, Ribe<br />
and Fanø, we are exploring how this approach can unfold into resilient<br />
and implementable climate adaptation projects for the <strong>Wadden</strong> <strong>Sea</strong>.<br />
This booklet on Terschelling is part of a series, literally setting the<br />
scene for every local exploration. It summarizes the specific context,<br />
the challenges at stake and their interdependencies. The booklet ends<br />
with a call for action, calling for expertise complementary to the local<br />
knowledge to develop resilient climate adaptive projects.<br />
