RECONECT National Workshop:

“Seden Strand Odense, Egå Engsø & Lystrup Aarhus workshop”

The workshop was organised by 4 partners: Aarhus Municipality, Odense Municipality, Rambøll and Amphi International representing together Danish Demonstrators: DB-3 and DA-2.

The workshop was organised as 2 days (24-25.08.2023) face-to-face event in the Aarhus Municipality office.

The participants visit the demo-sites in Lystrup and Lake Egå

The purpose of the workshop was:

  • to disseminate results of the RECONECT project with focus on Demonstrator Seden Strand (DA-2) and Egå Engsø/Lystrup (DB-3),
  • to discuss how to create synergy between nature, climate adaptation and mitigation in NBSs
  • to discuss possibilities of up scaling solutions used in RECONECT
  • to network and exchange knowledge with other projects as e.g. H2020 project,Ponderful (POND Ecosystems for Resilient Future Landscapes in a changing climate, https://ponderful.eu/),

The target audience for the workshop was professionals and administrators working with NBS in Danish municipalities and water utility companies. Some of the participants worked primarily with nature and some worked primarily with water and climate adaption, and some with areal planning. Thus a large variation of perspectives were present.

The audience brought their own experience working with climate adaption and nature into the discussion, and they were in general very engaged in posing questions to the speakers and going into discussions especially about the possibilities of creating synergies and the challenges of prioritizing between different measures and objectives when choosing the optimal NBS for a specific challenge.

Reconect know-how concerning NBS build up during the project have enabled full achievement of the aims set up for the workshop and contributed to the dissemination of the project on the national scale.

The workshop supported and enforced discussion that allowed the audience to reflect on the possibilities and challenges of creating synergies between climate adaption, nature, climate mitigation and social aspects.
