Coastal Communities 2150 and Beyond

Closed

Coastal Communities 2150 gathers partners from England, Belgium-Flanders and the Netherlands. The aim is to help create the right conditions to reduce the impact of coastal changes in vulnerable communities in the 2 Seas area. This will be done through the exchange of knowledge within the context of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM). By overcoming national borders, CC2150 will use the collective knowledge and experience of coastal regions and pool financial resources. Working on a long-term time frame (2150) allows partners and coastal communities to see the wider implications of coastal changes. Through informing communities of the best available prediction of future coastal climate change impacts on them, the project empowers them to plan and prepare for coastal changes. In exchange, understanding community views enables partners to plan and prepare, based on an integrated vision including all parties. In addition, CC2150 contributes to the European framework for action to improve Europe's resilience to climate change, by facilitating the coordination and the exchange of best practices between Member States on climate related issues.
