Water as Leverage for Climate Adaptation: Wadden Sea Region Emden Call for Action Resilience strategy for Emden The city of Emden is in need of a strategy and regional plan that is climate proof on the one hand and strengthens the socio-economic position and attractiveness of the city on the other hand. In this strategy long term thinking and short term action need to be included. This needs to be done in an integrated way in which the key elements are included. This strategy needs to be developed with professionals, stakeholders and people for the region on the basis of the most prominent challenges. A coalition of organisations and people that want to positively support the strategy for the future needs to be developed. For this a participatory approach with the people from the region is needed. Learning community and improving skills Emden is very interested to develop and participate in an (international) Wadden Climate Adaptation Community where people and organizations can learn from each other and improve their skills. This can be done with the partner organizations and as well with a wider group of involved organizations and stakeholders. In this way organisations from the city of Emden and region profit from the developed knowledge and skills. Develop and start inspiring pilot projects After the deepening of the challenges and the development of a resilience strategy, concrete inspiring pilot projects need to be developed. In these cases different challenges need to come together. At this moment there is a focus on developing 2-3 specific pilot projects concerning climate proof water management, an environmental educational program and sustainable tourism (water, Wadden Sea, boats and bikes). The ambition is to develop the pilot projects and start with the execution of them to act, to create leverage and develop examples for future. 10 Call for action
Setting the scene for a Call for Action To do so, the case of Emden asks for multi-disciplinary teams consisting of experts in: • Urban and rural design and regional planning in relation to climate adaptation; • Water management and ecosystems of rivers, estuaries and the Wadden Sea; • Recreational development in the Wadden Sea Region; • Participation process with stakeholders and people; • Set-up of a multi years development programs and initiation of concrete pilot projects.
