In what way and why is the Water Supply and Waste Water sector in Stockholm adapt to future and present effects of climate change?
Peter Rudberg introduces some results from his Master thesis study that looks into the process for climate adaptation within the Water Supply and Waste Water (WSW) sector in the Stockholm region. He has studied adaptive capacity and adaptation space in four regional WSW organizations. The organizations have made studies on the vulnerability of water production to climate impacts and in some cases also taken adaptation decisions. One reason why not so many adaptation measures have been implemented to date seems to be due to high immediate costs for such measures. Uncertainties in climate impacts is another limiting factor.The article (pdf, 74 kB)
