Coastal climate impact analysis and sanitation hazard assessment framework
Explore this handbook for stepwise guidance on developing an adaptive action plan for ensuring the resilience of cities' sanitation services to the impacts of sea level rise. Planning for sea level rise is needed to ensure the future reliability of these services and upgrade neglected sanitation services.
Evaluating Adaptation: An Analysis of Policy Progress in Coastal Cities and Regions
Explore the findings of the CLIC project “Are cities properly preparing for climate change?” and learn more about the European Research Council (ERC) funded project ‘IMAGINE adaptation’ in this policy brief. It highlights the urgent need to evaluate adaptation in urban areas and understand progress across governance levels.
Project Coastbusters
The public-private 'Coastbusters' consortium improves coastal protection by studying the use of ecosystem engineering species. In other words, can ecosystem creation and the technical design of nature-based solutions provide a more sustainable and cost-effective management approach to conventional coastal engineering?
