Impact

The research project 'Pathways towards a sustainable and inclusive Cauvery Delta' tries to understand the interactions between humans, the engineered and the natural systems through an integrated modelling approach and to identify possible pathways and their tipping points.

The Vietnamese Mekong delta is home to around 20,000,000 people and contributes to 50% of the rice production of the country (90% of the rice export), 65% of its aquaculture products and 70% of its fruit production.

A large part of the Rhine-Meuse delta consists of peatlands which are currently mainly used for dairy farming. Human interventions, such as land reclamation and peat harvesting for fuel, have been taking place for more than 1000 years.

The recently published IPCC report underlines the increasing pressures and challenges that deltas are facing for future development. It is clear that the urgency for deltas worldwide to adapt is greater than ever.

Contact persons of the storyline 'Spatial adaptation in deltas' of the Water, Climate and Future Deltas hub at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, a platform for scientists and external stakeholders to jointly work on ensuring the sustainability of our world’s deltas.

Spatial adaptation raises various questions regarding its mainstreaming in policy agendas, the problem of green gentrification and identifying behavioural adaptation.

Citizen participation and knowledge co-production are essential for the development and implementation of effective spatial adaptation measures.

Spatial adaptation falls within the jurisdiction of various public and private actors. For the successful implementation of spatial adaptation measures, responsibilities and roles of the different actors need to be clearly distinguished and defined in policy guidelines.

Nature-based solutions are inspired and supported by natural processes and are increasingly recognized to provide significant social, ecological and economic benefits for cities in deltas.
