The goal of the research is to recognize climate change impact on Baltic Sea cities and description of strengths and weaknesses of cities strategies and activities. The range of research has been limited to 3 cities in the Baltic Sea (Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Tallinn) and Tricity as an area for which recommendations will be proposed actions in the field of adaptation to climate change. Recommendations for Tricity as a unique group of cities that makes up the one urban area with different character should be sufficiently flexible to be able to be a good recommendation for other cities. The main areas of exploration of universal solutions in the context of adapting cities to climate change are: Quality of air, Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUM) and Water as a specific context to coastal vibrant cities. Main questions that have been asked to analyse situation in each city in terms of climate change: - What is the main city problem? - What is the strategy and what kind of documents it refers to? - What kind of solution city has been implementing? - What are the effects of these actions? - What is still expected to reach? The result of research and analysis will be a catalogue of good practices which Gothenburg, Copenhagen and Tallinn applied in order to adapt to the consequences of the expected climate changes. It means that the most creative will be a set of suggestions and ideas for waterfront cities facing the climate change threats
