Abstract
This chapter will look at the opportunities and challenges of adaptation financing based on the adaptation work done by the city of Copenhagen. The chapter reflects on the city’s adaptation plans which have recently been approved by the city council. It describes the different measures that the city has initiated in order to prepare the city for the expected climate changes especially when it comes to storm water management. The implementation, which has just started, has become more pressing after a major storm in July 2011. The chapter also describes the legislative issues connected to financing adaption measures in Denmark. The city of Copenhagen has identified a number of issues where the national legislation is insufficient to meet the needs of the city.
