Download the Training Pack -Identifying Future Coastal Risks
The Training Pack and the accompanying CD-Rom and DVD present an innovative methodology for identifying and mapping coastal evolution and risks in regional study areas. The maps provide a generic overview of the coastline in terms of current and future hazard and risk allowing 'hotspots' of future hazard activity to be identified. The regional approach can be used by planners, engineers, coastal managers and decision-makers to plan for the future and prioritise resources accordingly. An evaluation of the likely costs associated with increasing coastal hazards in a changing climate promotes a precautionary approach to coastal risk management. By preparing for the impacts of climate change at the coast and implementing strategies of adaptation, future risk to coastal communities may be reduced. However, in order to effectively implement sustainable strategies for the future, it is necessary to have political support and appropriate legal frameworks in place. This Training Pack demonstrates an approach to allow users to identify areas of high risk at the coast, in view of the impacts of climate change.
