Northern Europe

The Northern and Boreal region of the AELCLIC-Pathfinder project comprises the Scandinavian and Baltic part of Europe and includes 4 Pilot Landscapes. The Malmi district of the city of Helsinki (Finland), the agricultural and protected Hyyppä river valley in Finland, the Tornio river valley in the sparsely inhabited Lappish frontier between Sweden and Finland, and the extensive, intertidal lands of the Tønder region (Denmark).
According to the European Environmental Agency, the Nordic and Baltic region will experience a temperature rise much larger than global average, a decrease in snow, lake and river ice cover, an increase in river flows, a northward movement of species and an increasing damage risk from winter storms. At the same time, the area will witness an increase in crop yields, a decrease in energy demand for heating, an increase in hydropower potential and an increase in summer tourism. These general impacts will be studied and complemented in detail with different local stakeholder in the AELCLIC Pilot Landscapes in order to co-identify the consequences of climate change in peoples’ livelihoods and in the way they interact with their landscape.

MALMI DISTRICT (Helsinki)
The Old Malmi AELCLIC pilot-landscape includes a consolidated but developing urban area around the old Malmi railway station. According to the strategy, visions and guidelines of City of Helsinki, this area will acquire new and multiple functions and will catalyze the transformation of the Malmi district. The AELCLIC project will add the Climate Change Adaption layer to the coming plans. The area covers 25 ha approx
This decision was based on the opportunities provided by this area to combine Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in an existing urban area under renovation (old Malmi town center). In addition, this pilot site would support existing studies and public participation by adding Climate Change Adaptation into the discussion
• The Malmi district center site will permit to incorporate a consolidated urban area in the AELCLIC project. The City of Helsinki is planning to develop the Malmi district around its old railway station. This station will acquire new and multiple functions and will catalyze the transformation of the district according to the principles of the Helsinki Strategy 2050 and the Old Malmi Vision which is currently being developed by the city of Helsinki . In particular, the Pilot Landscape covers an area of 25 ha approx. and is located close to the new urban area that will be developed in the closed Malmi airport.
• The drafting of the Old Malmi Vision will include a public participation process and differentworkshops with a wide range of stakeholders.
• The City of Helsinki has defined a Climate Change Adaptation Programme that will inform the development of future plans and actions •In this context, the AELCLIC project is perceived as an opportunity to add the Climate Change Adaptation layer in the Old Malmi Vision and to apply in a concrete site the principles and guidelines of the Helsinki Climate Change Adaptation Programme.
• In addition, since the AELCLIC project is based in the deep collaboration between economic, social, governmental and academic actors (co-definition of work plans, co-identification of impacts/opportunities and co-delineation of contents of a LACAP), the project will provide a the possibility to integrate top-down and bottom-up approachesPARTNERS, THIRD PARTIES AND LOCAL NETWORK:

TØNDER MARSHLANDS
The Tønder AELCLIC Pilot Landscape is located near to the Wadden Sea and its Intertidal Wetlands. This pilot was chosen due to its extreme sensitivity to Climate Change. This area is one of the most advanced regions in Denmark and Europe in terms of Climate Change studies and adaptation (toendermarsk-initiativet). Therefore, the AELCLIC project will incorporate it as a Reference Case to study the processes, challenges and models used in the development of adaptive and mitigation actions, policies and programmes and, on the other hand, promote an overall and constructive reflection with the local stakeholders about the existing initiatives.
