A great deal of knowledge has already been compiled in the recent past in the form of a position paper documenting the latest insights into soil subsidence, climate change and sediment management (SCS). Based on these and other insights, the commissioning parties wish to select the most important focus areas and crystallise them into a strategy (scenarios) for future policy and management of the Wadden Sea.

- Greater understanding of climate-change-related legal frameworks applicable to the Wadden Sea ecosystem will be achieved in 2021 among policymakers, administrative bodies, users and residents, allowing them to optimally adapt their behaviour.
