Climate adaptation and the soil – water system

This model book on climate adaptation and the soil-water system is a compilation of inspiring and successful climate adaptation projects in rural areas. It shows how the soil-water system can be utilised to prevent waterlogging and drought at the local and regional levels.

The interactive document zooms in on six types of measures:

• Carbon farming;
• Alternative soil cultivation;
• Adaptation of crops and land use;
• Water buffering in the soil;
• Brook regulation;
• Climate buffers.

The book presents several examples of each type of measure. Those who are planning on implementing one of these types of measures can use the examples as a source of inspiration. In addition, municipalities can use the information from these examples in the purview of their policymaking or decision-making.
