The vision is part of an overall development plan for CC adaptation which consists of a
mission, a vision, 5 overall objectives and several strategies to ensure that we reach the
goals. The mission defines the water utilities’ core business and the utilities’ role in CC
adaptation and the vision expresses which ambitious and realistic adaptation scenario we
want to achieve in 2100. To make the vision

Wind-speed is symbolised by diagonal lines at the end of the barb; a long line represents 5 m/s, a short line 2.5 m/s and a triangle represents 25 m/s.
Temperature forecast:
Temperature levels are shown over the Atlantic Ocean in degrees Celsius (°C) at an altitude of about 1,500 m above the ocean surface. This altitude equates to an air pressure of 850 hPa

Background information and knowledge gaps: 1) time scale-what is the consensus view
of when are the CC impacts projected to begin to be felt, 2) spatial scale-where are the
impacts expected to occur, 3) vulnerability assessments of differential capacity to adapt
to CC impacts

and 17 cm, respectively. The results also indicate that for up to 10 km of road the conditions
would be critical with a probability > 75%. No airports would be directly affected by tephra
fall on the ground with a likelihood higher than 5%. Around 95 km of power line network may
be impacted by heavy load from tephra fallout and potential flashover, although the probability
is lower than 25

- this is different from “No Information” which indicates that nothing at all is known
about the area.
5) No specific colour is assigned to areas of “No Information”; such areas should be clearly
indicated on ice charts - text annotation may be used where appropriate; an assigned
colour within the code should not be used to indicate “No Information”.
6) Colour codes do not preclude use of black
