Adapt4Coast Webinar: Tools to enhance climate change adaptation in coastal areas

Description

Climate change has severe impacts on coastal areas and communities, such as: social and economic damage; Property and infrastructure damage; Coastal submersion and erosion; Threats on human health and safety; Loss of coastal wetlands and biodiversity. Coastal resilience is thus a key environmental mitigation strategy. 

Teaming up as the Adapt4Coast Cluster, 4 EU-funded projects (SCORE, CoCliCo, PROTECT, REST-COAST) have joined forces with the aim of enhancing climate resilience in European coastal areas. In this webinar, representatives of the four projects will present some of the tools and platforms under development to help communities plan smart adaptation strategies and play an active role in tackling climate-related challenges. We will also present the Adapt4Coast joint policy brief including critical findings and valuable insights for government climate policy.
