Abstract:
The global climate is getting warmer. In the 20th century, the average global temperature has increased by approx. 0.6 oC. With the global climate the risk of certain extreme weather events will grow, also in Denmark. We have to accept the fact that the Danish climate is changing. By integrating climate change in planning projects now, Denmark can - with simple means - avoid both unpleasant surprises, unnecessary damage, and large costs. This leaflet does not give ready-to-use answers, but intends to invite decision-makers, business and authorities in Denmark to assess how possible climate changes can be integrated in new projects and in current planning and maintenance activities.

Abstract in Danish:
Det globale klima varmer op. Den gennemsnitlige globale temperatur er steget omkring 0,6 grader celcius i løbet af det 20. århundrede. Med klimaforandringerne vil risikoen for ekstreme vejrsituationer også vokse herhjemme. Vi må indstille os på, at det danske klima er ved at ændre sig. Ved at tænke klimaændringer ind i planlægningen allerede nu, kan Danmark med enkle midler undgå både ubehagelige overraskelser, unødige skader og store omkostninger. Denne pjece kommer ikke med færdige svar, men er tænkt som en opfordring til beslutningstagere, erhvervsliv og myndigheder i Danmark til at vurdere, hvordan mulige klimaændringer kan indpasses i nye projekter samt i den løbende planlægning og vedligeholdelse.
