A technical issue, knowledge demanding, national roads are very important for the general society, national
security issues etc.

Vision for Proactive Climate Change Adaptation in the Danish Water Sector
Speaker: Helle Katrine Andersen, DANVA hka@danva.dk
To inspire water utilities to develop climate change adaptation strategies and to implement
CC adaptation solutions The Danish Water and Waste Water Association (DANVA) has
developed a vision for Proactive Climate Change Adaptation in the Water Sector

technological development, 5) equitable distribution of social goods, ethical dynamics
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

2) one based on stage of development (SoD) intended for use when the concentration is
relatively uniform (high) but the stage of development is variable (e.g. arctic winter
navigation).
