What was our Objective?
– Making use of the COMMIN-website
– Broaden its content by developing issue driven contents on
top of what the planning systems represent in itself
– Address topics which are of high importance in most countries
– Combine issues which have not been discussed earlier:
Climate Change < > Regional / Local Development
– Relying on the planning systems’ opportunities to coordinate
sectoral policies, and thus developments

What was our Objective?
– Make climate change information and data usable for regional
and local spatial planners’ requests.
– Support spatial planners to include the information and data
into their (often country specific) everyday practice and into
sustainable/long-term strategies and processes to minimise
the climate change and its impacts.
– Foster and initiate joint transnational spatial planning activities
and processes to meet the common challenge of climate
change.
– Make BSR regions and cities more attractive (in this case:
adapted to climate change challenges) in competition with
other European regions

What was our Background?
– Climate change = general, global challenge for nature, men,
social systems and its economies
– This is accepted, the latest, since IPPC-Report
– We should talk about climate protection > Mitigation
– We should talk more about how to live with unavoidable
impacts in future > Adaptation
– Why? Until now seldom integrated and coordinated action to
be seen, only on global, national level in terms of objectives –
no real action which needs to be done on local/reg. level
– We have to develop:
Regional Action facing Changing Climate > ReACCt

How did the Idea develop?
– ReACCt was presented on the Partner Search Forum in
Helsinki (September 2007)
– Some, partly already established groups are competitors,
some other participants showed interest: (RCCF)
– Bilateral development followed concentrating more on
creating a framework for sustainable development crossing
the boundaries of sub-regions (issues: Traffic, Housing and
Living)
– We moved towards the idea of seeing:
Challenges and Chances of Climate Change for Regional and
Local Development > 4C = Foresee (?)

Where do we have to go?
– This is what we are going to discuss together today and
tomorrow to build up a trustful cooperation!
Thank you for your attention!
