The SENSES project revolved around the use of so-called “climate services”; easily accessible tools to share scientific information about climate scenarios with other users (https://climatescenarios.org). Within the project there was a Dutch case study - the river basin of the Overijsselse Vecht. Based on a multi-scale vision (European, national, regional), researchers first (co-)produced desirable adaptation pathways together with stakeholders. These pathways were then tested against several possible scenarios and existing local initiatives. We concluded that the agricultural sector and a transition to circular agriculture with a new business model are essential for achieving climate adaptation and mitigation objectives.
