How to build resilience when coastal communities are at risk
Our coastal communities, infrastructure and ecosystems are under threat, more so as the global climate will continue to push our flood and erosion protection infrastructure past its tipping point. Improving the ways we evaluate the risks associated with sea level rise is paramount. Then building from this, how can we better engage communities and make decisions on adapting to future conditions. Coastal vulnerability models can often be misunderstood and simplify an uncertain future. And as it stands today, there isn’t a more detailed understanding to inform incremental adaptive pathways. How can communities avert the worst outcomes and better recover from the aftermath? This article shares insights into adopting tailored and multi-benefit solutions to enhance coastal resilience, reduce vulnerabilities and prepare for future hazards. It also provides guidance in unlocking funding and navigating the complex permitting process.
