Guidelines for Soil-conscious Climate Adaptation

When embarking on climate adaptation, you also need to consider the soil and subsoil. A useful source of data on the soil and subsoil is the Basic Subsoil Register. However, retrieving data from this Register and applying it to climate adaptation efforts can still be quite cumbersome. The Guidelines for Soil-conscious Climate Adaptation will help you. They provide practical instructions, tips, and examples. Depending on your situation and goal, the Guidelines outline various routes.

The Guidelines are intended for all municipal staff engaged in climate adaptation: from water and spatial planning departments to housing and public health. Furthermore, the Guidelines are not only of use to lay people but also to experts. Does your municipality have a soil expert? Then it would be wise to involve them in the collection and interpretation of data.
