Success stories

A major challenge in effective climate adaptation is the lack of sufficient data and understanding of diverse climatic and geographic conditions. Within SCORE, this challenge was addressed through the generation of high-resolution climate and sea level projections tailored to local coastal challenges. To generate these models, all the CCLLs worked with local stakeholders to improve…

SCORE set out to improve data availability within the CCLLs to better monitor coastal changes, ultimately strengthening decision-making tools and increasing climate resilience. To achieve this, the CCLLs engaged their wider stakeholder networks through sensor selection workshops. These workshops helped identify the most appropriate coastal sensors based on each CCLL’s priorities, whether that meant using…

The Science  The CCLLs, using the guidance and methodologies of SCORE, worked with stakeholders to co-create a list of priority Ecosystem-Based Adaptations (EBAs) to enhance climate resilience in their communities. EBAs, sometimes referred to as Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are types of green infrastructure (i.e., green parks, marram grass, etc.). These adaptation approaches focus on ecosystem…
