Registration is required to attend.
2:00 pm	Webinar: A Practical Tool for Coastal Communities to Manage Climate Change Impacts Online As a greater number of coastal communities grapple with climate change impacts such as rising sea levels, eroding shorelines, and extreme flooding events, it is becoming clear that coastal ecosystems can provide substantial protection with longer-term resilience compared to traditional grey infrastructure.
3:00 pm	Webinar: Promoting Adaptation to Changing Coasts Online Interested in what coastal communities are working on across the vast Atlantic pond? The Promoting Adaptation to Changing Coasts (PACCo) project is aimed at demonstrating that it is possible to work with stakeholders in estuarine regions to deliver a range of benefits for people and the environment by adapting pre-emptively to climate change. It has a total value of €26m, with €17.8m coming from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The primary output will be a transferable model to influence policy makers at national and EU level and enable climate change adaptation at more sites. The project focuses on two pilot sites: the lower Otter Valley, East Devon, England (www.lowerotterrestorationproject.co.uk) and the Saâne Valley in Normandy, France.
