Climate Adaptation in Coastal Areas

Huidige versie van 5 nov 2018 om 10:14

Project summary

Governments, business, NGOs and society have a need to adapt to climate change effects, like sea level rise, extreme weather and pluvial flooding, drought and heat stress. Delta areas are important areas for trade, industry, agriculture living, recreation and nature. The combination of all these functions in the scarce space available makes delta areas and societies vulnerable for climate change effects. This living lab Climate Adaptation focuses on the transition towards climate proof and water robust delta areas. The research is applied and multidisciplinary, The aim is to develop together with the relevant actors new instruments for climate adaptation, including enhanced assessments of risk and impact, innovative technological and/or social solutions, and governance arrangements.
