September 2010.
The INTERREG IVB programme
•Programme area North Sea Region
•Aim: “to make the North Sea region a better place
•to live work and invest in”.
•Objectives (‘priorities’):
1. Building on our capacity for innovation
2. Promoting the sustainable management of our environment
3. Improving the accessibility of places in the NSR
4. Promoting sustainable and competitive communities
SUSCOD – project DNA
•Aims
SUSCOD aims to promote integrated coastal zone
management (ICZM) among the partners.
• Central in SUSCOD is the development of a practical tool: the
ICZM-assistant and its introduction to potential users and its
demonstrated value at test locations.
•Budget
– € 3.559.888 (50% ERDF funding from INTERREG)
•Duration
– 3,5 years
•Added value of working in an EU context
– Exchange and integrate knowledge, expertise and experiences on
a practical level in order to improve the partner’s own performance.

OBJECTIVES
• Exchanging and integrating knowledge, expertise and experiences on
ICZM implementation on a practical level in order to improve the
partner’s own performance.
• Reviewing the present status of ICZM implementation in the partner
regions (in an EU context), including the application of ICZM tools and
practical techniques as being applied in the light of challenges imposed
by climate change.
•Jointly developing a practical and innovative web-based ICZM – tool
(ICZM-assistant) for coastalpractitioners (project development and
implementation) with stakeholder participation.
•Applying and testing of ICZM principles integrated with the testing and
validating of the ICZMassistant in pilot projects in a variety of coastal
locations in partner regions (answer to climate change in spatial
development).

Three case studies (2010..)
One Regional Analysis (2010)
Expert Seminars (2011)
A course for planners (2012)
REGIONAL CASES
Lolland municipality
This case study will focus on sea level rise, storms and fresh water management along the coast line
of southern Lolland. These factors will be evaluated in relation to their impact on existing and
forthcoming infrastructural developments. A special emphasis will be given to the coming Fehmarn
Belt bridge to Germany. The thematic focus of the case will be that of climate change induced sealevel rise, coastal zone management and infrastructural developments.
Odsherred municipality
This case study will focus on the sea level rise along the coast line of western Odsherred and its
impact on the tourism industry in the area. Different scenarios with and without coastal zone
protection will be developed along side with socio-economic evaluations of the different scenarios.
The thematic focus of the case study will be that of climate change induced sea level rise, coastal
zone management and tourism.
Slagelse municipality
This case study will focus on sea level rise a long the coastline of north western Slagelse and its
impact on coast town and inner-city development. Different risk analysis scenarios, plans for
evacuation and warning systems will be developed and evaluated. The thematic focus of the case
study will be that of climate change induced sea level rise, coastal zone management and inner-city
development
Present challenges:
a) Definition of case studies (work plans, focus and duration).
b) Relation between case studies (the regional stuides
and in the entire project)
c) The development of the IZCM assistent (regional test and development)
d) Definition of the The Regional Analysis (Scale and scope, focus and
interaction with the case studies)
