frame given in the task refers to 20 years in the foreseeable future, we--- as a compulsory part of
the competent authority (leading agency), who is entitled the legal mandate to facilitate
implementation of stakeholder involvement and ultimate performance of the outcome of the
adaptation plan--- will not confine ourselves to the predefined time frame due

lead to improvements in risk assessment and crises management, with significant
positive impacts on European society. In practice however, this does not happen
efficiently due to: fragmentation of the volcanological community; limited
time-frame of research projects retarding knowledge transfer from

environmental infrastructure impact, 2) provide equal access to mobility, 3) ensure safety,
4) be adaptive, and 5) support increases in societal well-being (4Es: environment,
economy, equity and ethics).

conventional regimes, practices and policies found within the Finnish Road Authority

1. Take 5 grams of ordinary baking soda and dilute it in 1 liter of water.
2. Soak a piece of cloth, e.g. a dish towel, a thin towel or an old fashioned flat cloth diaper in
the solution.
3. Wring most of the water from the cloth so that no water leaks from it.
4. Fasten the damp cloth on to some sort of frame, e.g. a drying rack, and fasten it on all sides
of the rack, for instance

Stakeholder involvement:
What is manageable cost level?
What is the reasonable level of road quality and the level of service
Information and knowledge: frequency of freeze-thaw cycle,
Stakeholders: road authority and users (how to define?)
Time frame: until 2050
The reason for choosing this time horizon is because we are working with maintenance of roads

Had Station 437 not been used, the exaggerated variability of summer temperatures in RCAO
could not have been discovered within the shorter time frame of the two GC-net stations.
The Burgess et al. (2010) data reach from 1958–2007 and fulfill the condition of representing
climatological means. However, the data

(2006) is directly used to frame
research in only one case (de Blaeij et al. 2011).
On governance
None of the case study papers is very specific on
the definition of the term governance. It is either not
explicitly referred to or only a general way, mostly
using terms such as ‘quality of governance’ or ‘good
governance.’ Often governance is treated as
synonymous with policy, which is a rather

How are you representing and explaining uncertain knowledge to stakeholders?
B. Knowledge and information organization
What time frame does your project have, both with respect to the project time itself and
regarding the envisaged implementation period (horizon)?
Which information and knowledge is needed regarding climate
