Zusammenfassung englisch
In 2008 the national adaptation process started by conducting national strategies. By providing a free step-by-step tool public and private organisations could find a way to adapt on a local level. In 2014/2015 a revision of the tool was needed due to the changes in policies, knowledge and more regional research. The tool Klimalotse is to understand climate change, to identify and assess vulnerability and measures. It also helps with the implementation of adaptation measures. The tool consists of technical information, illustrates best practices and has many template documents which can be used for municipalities. Through interviews and discussions, it can be concluded that big cities have a clear approach to climate adaptation. Smaller cities are having more difficulties to implement or conduct strategies due to the lack of capacity and limited money. Funds are often only for the development of strategies, not for implementation. Also lack of political and administrative support is a bottleneck. For a new tool it is necessary that it is designed for several needs. It is also very important to involve many different people in the process to develop the tool and to connect the tool with other services.
