Research project identifies pathways to climate-resilient water and soil management
How can regions better adapt their water and soil resources to the impacts of climate change? After four years of research, the European collaborative project Blue Transition, led by the LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics in Hanover, takes stock. The final report brings together the findings from 16 pilot regions in six countries and identifies three key levers to strengthen climate…
The European collaborative project Blue Transition has concluded after four years of research, identifying three key approaches to enhance climate resilience in water and soil management across 16 pilot regions in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Led by the LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics in Hanover, the project combined scientific findings on groundwater, soils, and land use with practical implementation and governance questions.
Successful adaptation depended on interdisciplinary collaboration, stakeholder engagement, long-term monitoring, robust data, supportive policies, and funding. Local conditions heavily influenced solution approaches, emphasizing the need for regions to adapt solutions to their specific circumstances while fostering cross-border cooperation and knowledge exchange.
The final report, "Blue Transition—How to make my region climate resilient," highlights the importance of land-use change, improved soil health, and diversified water resources in building climate-resilient regions.
