RADOST: Regional adaptation strategies for the German Baltic coast

The objective of RADOST is the development of adaptation strategies for the Baltic coastline of Germany through a dialogue between academics, economists, policy-makers and the public. Other important goals are to minimize the economic, social and environmental harm and to capitalize on development opportunities brought about by climate change. Furthermore, the project aims to strengthen and extend the network and communication of the stakeholders on the Baltic coast and beyond.

The natural and engineering scientific work in RADOST will investigate the regional impacts of climate change. It will providing the basic data and the research will capture the structural and functional changes resulting from climate change in the western Baltic Sea as well as its inner and outer coastal waters.
