CPOY 74 Interpretive Project Silver: Warmer Climate, New Nature
Climate change is starting to become evident, even in Denmark. If we take a close look, it is possible to see small signs that the nature around us is beginning to change. Some changes are direct effects of global increases in temperature, some to a smaller extent. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that that nature is evolving faster and more dramatically than usual.

The water levels are rising and floods are getting more common. It erodes the coasts at a much higher pace than before. The coasts of Denmark facing west are mostly affected, such Stængehus Strand at Liseleje in northern Zealand, where lumps of sand and sea lyme grass are falling off the dunes.
