1 Climate change adaptation Copenhagen - As a pioner city in urban adaptation
2 Copenhagen brief inhabitants 1.5 mio in Greater Copenhagen We expect a 20% increase in the next years
3 Thank you for your attention Peter Jeppe Tolstrup City of Copenhagen
4 Copenhagen sewerage system
5 Harbour and harbour baths Industrial harbour abandoned in 70 s and 80 s Combined sewer overflows Bad water quality In 1992 the city decided on a plan to improve water quality Trigger we want to be able to swim in the harbour
6 Measures in the harbour Disposal of waste water from six municipalities according to EU Urban WW Directive Protect bathing water according to EU Bathing Water Directive Construction of 12 large retention basins, in total 220,000 m3 Water quality warning system based on modelling of indicator bacteria concentrations Closing of sewer outlets
7 The harbour today An urban harbour park The center for urban life in the summer Increased economic activity High rise in house prices
8 The adaptation plan Inspired by cities like New York, London and Rotterdam Work started in 2009 Plan finally approved by City Council in August 2011
9 Adaptation Plan - contents Impact of future weather in Copenhagen Risk assesment Strategies for action Suggestion of first actions An estimated implementation period of years Focus on opportunities of climate change
10 The weather is changing The most immediate threat is from rain But rising sea levels will increase the risk of storm surges
11 Risk calculation Probability * cost
12 Risk calculation
13 Climate change impacts
14 Cloudburst over Copenhagen Max. 119 mm
15 Cloudburst over Copenhagen
16 Cloudburst over Copenhagen
17 Cloudburst over Copenhagen
18 Cloudburst over Copenhagen
19 July 2011 the city is vulnerable 150 mm rain in 2 hours Damages close to 1 billion euro Damages to critical infrastructure
20 CONSEQUENCES OF THE CLOUDBURST Op to 150 mm rain within 3 Hours intensity 3,1 mm/min T ~1.000 year damages reported 20
21 The game changer - to hell with uncertainties High political attention (nationally and local) More speed - and to hell with uncertainties Change in legislation - new finance mechanisms to enable surface solutions
22 Reality check
23 Ørestad New city district Born adapted Separated sewer system (3 string system)
24 2nd of July - Consequences Flooding in main hospital, emergency power system did not function, Serious considerations of evacuation Technical breakdown in police communication Flooding in main emergency phone center Flooding in prisons Flooding of major infrastructure components 70% of the critical IT operation in the city, threatened by water and lack of power Up to 1 billion euro in damages and insurance cost Damage on public buildings estimated 60 million euro Thousands of flooded basements Loss in income/turnover?? Big losses for industry, private businesses, science Around listed damage location
25 Emergency outlets Water accumulating behind harbor quays and flooding basements

28 Cloudburst Management Plan New service level Protection against a 100 year event Cost benefit analysis Principles of solutions
29 The cloudburst management plan The utility takes care of the water management on public land and runoff from private that is connected to sewer system The city takes care of urban space improvement in connection with adaptation measures and its own buildings Private landowners have to protect their own building and finance measures on private land
30 Modelling
31 Data from events
32 Principles of catchment analysis
33 A new infrastructure
34 Following the natural flow of water
35 7 water catchments in the city
36 Different options for each catchment
37 Types of solutions Cloudburst boulevards transporting water Cloudburst boulevards Retention boulevards delaying water Retention boulevards Central delays for storing water Central delays
38 Examples of solutions Cloudburst boulevard at HC Andersens Boulevard Traffic important Leads the water to the harbour
39 Examples of solutions Vesterbro a district with high flood risks A low point in the city No natural run off for the water
40 Examples of solutions Istedgade as retention boulevard Transporting and delaying the water moving to the lower areas of Vesterbro
41 Example of solutions Skt Jørgens sø Lowering the water level in the lake A new park on the wider banks Park can store up to m3 of water in case of cloudburst A pipe empties the lake and also collects water from Vesterbro
42 Lake becomes a Cloudburst Park Sankt Joergens Soe Dry
43 Lake becomes a Cloudburst Park Sankt Joergens Soe Cloudburst Level 1+2
44 Project proposal Project when constructed Dec
45 Implementing the plan 300 projects Project descriptions Political process Estimated 20 years of construction Annual project packages
46 INVESTMENT STATEMENT - SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA Cost of investments Value of estimated damages Value of green solutions Saved investments in expanding the present sewer system Other aspects
47 INVESTMENT STATEMENT Total costs of storm water infrastructure 1.3 billion Euro Extra costs for urban improvement (greening etc) 100 mill Euros or more depending on level of ambition Cost benefit analysis still shows that it is a good business case
48 INVESTMENT STATEMENT - SYNERGIES WITH OTHER PROJECTS Saving money through coordination with other construction works in the city (maintenance of roads, district heating improvements etc.) Ongoing process that we have already started with projects like Skt. Annæ Plads and on bicycle routes on Amager
49 Financing adaptation in Denmark Sewers and storm water management traditionally financed through water taxes Surface solutions also financed through water taxes as long as they can be distinguished clearly as storm water management (canals, open basins etc) Mixed solutions with new legislation are owned, constructed and maintained by the city but paid through water taxes Urban space improvement paid by the city
50 A good business case Robust socio economic figures Cheaper than traditional solutions Less flooding less damage Lower insurance costs Higher house prices Total costs 1.3 billion euro
51 The opportunities of adaptation Focus on urban spaces Green and blue urban spaces We are developing af concept for the integration of water in the urban space Green adaptation using the synergies to create green corridors and hopefully increase biodiversity Synergies saves times and money
52 Cooperation and co-creation HOFOR Greater Copenhagen Utility Close partnership in all aspects Citizens Will be involved in all the projects. Partnerships on private land Organisations Other municipalities Key as water does not respect administrative boundaries Local commitees and neighbourhood regeneratio Local anchoring and local cooperation with local knowledge
53 The next steps Adaptation is the top priority for our Administration Political process the final decision in January 2015 Prioritizing projects the first projects Setting up the organisation Application for financial approvement with the government
54 Organising the work in the city Joint steering group with Greater Copenhagen Utility No project organisation we need to handle this within our current organisational structure The Climate unit responsible for the program Selects annual project packages In charge of overall urban space improvement in connection with adaptation In charge of hydraulic coordination in cooperation with our utility After political approvment projects will be handled by our Department for City Construction Programming Construction Environmental regulations and construction coordination will be handled by the Department for City in Use
55 Tensions and conflicts Cost vs benefits (unequal distribution of cost and benefits) Environment vs flood prevention Utility company vs city administration Short term vs long term perspective planning vs action
56 THE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS? How can the city administration, their partners and stakeholders (utility company, citizens) secure that the adaptation plans is implemented during the next years and beyond? How can organization, management systems and technology etc. support the ongoing implementation of the adaptation and cloudburst plans? What tools can be used to manage the project? There will be a need to control several hundred projects, their interdependence, and overview of the overall economy and easy methods to monitor progress.
57 And hopefully in a few years time this will be the past But we need to communicate that citizens need to invest in protecting buildings And we need to communicate that it will take time
58 Thank you for your attention
