Horsens case- Stakeholder involvement plan
Yuan Zheng; Patience Mguni; Emmanuel Pagneux
Introduction
The overall objective of the stakeholder involvement plan, which is referred to this task, is to
facilitate adaptation of the Horsens municipality to climate change. In concrete terms, a package of
coping measures should be adopted at the end of the participatory

in the Markarfljót outwash plain and in the Öræfi district. An inventory of the populations exposed to floods is made for overnight conditions using daily overnight estimates weighted with road traffic data as an indicator. The main objective of the study is to provide the authorities with a realistic estimate, at different periods of the year and at particular locations within the two studied areas

in achieving the long term planning objective.
Results
For the study area the goals of good water quality, minimized damage from flooding, sustainable
agriculture and health of ecosystems were defined. However, water quality was selected as focus of the
study and the scenario development process evolved around this goal.
A combination of climate conditions and socio‐economic conditions envisioned

policymakers when analyzing, assessing and managing risk/uncertainty?
In many cases where uncertainty and risk is involved, acts and regulations prescribe different methods of
analyses and/or assessments to be carried out before the decision is made. The ideal is that researchers
provide objective, neutral facts to the policymakers or politicians. However, research and policy are often

INTRODUCTION
Broad-scale, multi-governance level, participatory
water management processes are multiplying
around the world. Their commonly stated objective
is to aid collective decision making and social
learning to culminate in mutually acceptable water
