Randers City Council has a vision to connect the city to the water by 2021.

Historically an industrial city with a busy port, the city now faces its back to the water and the nature. However, soon the industrial area will be abolished, and a possibility for the city to turn to the water has emerged.

New Climate Change Adaption (CCA) measures will be developed and implemented while fully respecting the unique nature of the Randers Fjord and the River Gudenå, bringing biodiversity closer to the city and generating nature based recreational activities close to the city center.

The project defines the contents of the Climate Ribbon and the subsequent launch of an international tender for innovative nature-based solutions.

The project involves investors, citizens, politicians and other stakeholders.

This action is primarily linked to governance within all aspects of the hydrological cycle apart from groundwater.

Main responsible beneficiary: Randers Municipality
Number of days estimated spent on action in phase 1: 1206 Days Budget: 678.111€

Beneficiary responsible for implementation: Randers Municipality (RK)
