- London TCPA 2015
Introduction -- Sea level rise, climate change and the risks to coastal communities -- Options for adaptation -- Delivering adaptation through planning and infrastructure investment -- Stakeholders and responsibilities -- Conclusions -- Further information
Sets out how decision-makers in planning and infrastructure investment can work with communities to plan for adaptation to sea level rise and climate change in coastal areas. This guide is designed to encourage and enable decision-makers to help coastal communities plan how best to adapt to sea level rise and climate change. It describes the risks, explains why adaptation is necessary, demonstrates that it is achievable, makes the case for investment and highlights the benefits of getting it right. Some of the options for adaptation in coastal areas are discussed and good practice tips are provided for planning, investment and project delivery, illustrated with a series of case studies.
