BackJoin the Webinar “Climate Change and Spatial Planning on the Baltic Sea Coast: Where Are We Now?”
PA Spatial Planning invites to join the webinar “Climate Change and Spatial Planning on the Baltic Sea Coast: Where Are We Now?” on 3 December 2026 online 9:30–12:30 CET. Organised within the Baltic PlaNet project platform, this event launches an online webinar series designed to support spatial planners in addressing climate change risks in their work, foster exchange of experience and strengthen cooperation among planners across the Baltic Sea Region, contributing to more climate-resilient Baltic Sea coasts.
As the first in a series of Baltic PlaNet webinars, this webinar will focus on basics of climate science, introducing with observed climate trends and the impacts of climate change in the Baltic Sea Region. This will be followed by short presentations from spatial planners working in coastal areas across the Baltic Sea Region, sharing their observations and experiences of how climate change is affecting coastal areas, what challenges it creates, and how these are (or should be) addressed through spatial planning and coastal management.
In the second part of the webinar, participants will have an opportunity to engage in country-level group discussions, facilitated in their respective national languages. These discussions will provide a space to exchange experiences and explore how climate change considerations are currently integrated into spatial planning and other relevant planning processes. Participants who are not affiliated with a specific Baltic Sea Region country will join a mixed group and participate in the discussion in English.
This webinar is aimed at spatial planners, coastal managers and policymakers working in coastal municipalities and regions around the Baltic Sea. Representatives of national authorities and international organisations, as well as researchers, experts and anyone interested in climate change adaptation and climate-resilient spatial planning, are also warmly welcome to join.
