Awareness of Climate Change for
Regions – ACCR ©
Baltic Sea Region Programme
2007-2013 Conference
Workshop 4
Hamburg, 11.5.2007

Specific problem to be addressed:
To develop tripartite political discussion on preventing the effects of
climate change in regions based on current European, national and
regional discussion, law making and information from ACCR-project work
packages.
Currently large frame political decisions regarding environmental affairs
are made on the national level if though the regions are the ones who are
first suffering about the practical effects of climate change.
A political influential ACCR -high level political forum of the project may
help in abolishing the relevant obstacles in the tripartite based regional
political decision making process and to influence thinking proenvironmentally about the possible consequences of climate change.

Main project activities planned:
ACCR -work packages
WP 1
Awareness for political decision making procedures in regions
WP 2
Energy efficiency and zero/low emission energy production
WP 3
Pilot-level conceptual model of climate change in urban areas
WP 4
Innovative logistics models for energy efficient product life cycles in
regions
produce information and knowledge to support the political decision making
procedures for creating models for regular regional/local policy making due to the
climate change. Models can be applied later in different Baltic Sea countries.

Expected outputs and results:
-
a pilot-level conceptual model of climate change in urban areas
(project lead partner regions as a living lab).
-
a model for sustainable public supplies including the awareness of
climate change, creating indicators for public supplies, including e.g.
low energy policy and other expertise created in the work packages.
-
further developed environmental impact assessment model
influenced by the climate change
-
increase of political and public awareness of climate change on
regional/local level and supporting the regional/local political
discussion procedures and creating knowledge from regions for EU
energy policy.
