Focus on collaboration provides better data for climate adaptation and flood warning

Abstract

It is more important than ever to provide reliable data for climate adaptation. Floods in connection with cloudbursts and storm surges have enormous socio-economic consequences, and there is increasing political focus on being able to climate-proof and prevent damage. Good and well-functioning collaborations between state and municipality are essential to provide reliable nationwide data. This requires communication, involvement, knowledge sharing and mutual training of the right employees in both municipalities and state. The collaboration on improving the "hydrological adaptation layer" under the auspices of the GeoDanmark association is an example of this.
