We have successfully started the co-development process in our METAscales Living Labs!
Dear mareXtreme community,
After extensive preparations leading up to the identification of our two Living Lab locations in Wremen (Lower Saxony) and on Nordstrand (Schleswig-Holstein), we have finally started the collaborative development process to increase the resilience of our coastal communities.

The Kick-off workshops were crucial to establish trustful cooperation and to address the challenges and needs for action in the local communities. In small groups, we discussed the impacts of past extreme events, localized critical infrastructure and identified vulnerable individuals, groups and institutions in the communities. Two main areas of action were identified during the workshops. These are the needs for responses to natural hazards or disasters and long-term risk perception and awareness, including the corresponding self-efficacy and behaviour of the local community as well as visitors and tourists.
We will continue to evaluate the results and look forward to sharing more detailed findings with you.
Best regards from Hamburg,
Anton & Stefanie
