Abstract: | Climate change is one of the risks that society faces today. Among other things, it has the potential to interfere with the
water environment, and thus it can be a relevant factor in current work with river basin management plans (RBMPs) in Denmark.
At the same time, climate change in theory has characteristics that can pose challenges, if included in such a planning process.
In this article, it is investigated what the attitudes towards climate change are among actors in the planning process, and
what the main drivers, barriers and challenges related to including climate change in the RBMPs are, compared to the theoretical
challenges. The investigation consists of a document study of hearing responses, interviews, and a survey among Danish municipalities.
The overall results are that there are many attitudes towards the inclusion of climate change as a factor in RBMPs and that
this diversity theoretically can be a challenge in the planning process. The main theoretical and practical barriers and challenges
in connection with inclusion of climate change in RBMPs relate to lacking knowledge and uncertainty. |
