Description:
The report "
Adapting Coastal Cities and Territories to Sea Level Rise in Northern Europe: Challenges and Best Practices
" draws on elements discussed during preliminary interviews and the Sea’ties Northern European Workshop hosted by the Ocean & Climate Platform on November 29, 2021. Intended for policymakers, city, and territorial planners, as well as residents willing to pursue transformational change on their coasts, the report provides an overview of current practices and obstacles to defining and implementing adaptation strategies.
Accordingly, th
ree key areas of concern
emerged:
Despite substantive access to scientific information, the lack of systemic and localised assessments, feasibility measures, and monitoring, reporting, and evaluation (MRE) constitute considerable knowledge gaps that impede the implementation of tailored and informed strategies;
As planners are eager to adopt hybrid and dynamic strategies, the institutional, financial, scientific, and socio-cultural conditions need to be adjusted accordingly;
Improving stakeholder engagement throughout the entire adaptation process is a prerequisite that necessitates additional efforts to ensure fair, effective, and long-term participation.
