The RSPB has a system of management planning and implementing adaptive action across its nature reserves throughout the UK. The framework of annual reviews, 5-year objectives and a 25-year vision facilitates immediate short-term action and long-term planning.
The TRESBP uses innovative technology to pump sand from New South Wales into Queensland, ‘bypassing’ the Tweed River entrance. In doing so, the TRESBP keeps the Tweed River entrance open for safe navigation while simultaneously supplying sand to Gold Coast beaches, improving their resilience to erosion.
Groundwater is a key resource for global agricultural production, but is vulnerable to a changing climate and over-abstraction. Examples of adaptation actions from the field of groundwater management have transferable lessons in effective adaptive frameworks, capacity development and addressing non-climate related pressures.
The Vigías of Tungurahua are a network of volunteers who play a key role in volcano observation, participatory monitoring, and risk reduction, demonstrating the success of sustained community participation in resilience-building efforts.
The Ystad Municipality achieved Sweden's first large scale beach nourishment to counteract the impacts of coastal erosion. The adaptation created a natural buffer against storm damage and project planners overcame lengthy challenges in initially obtaining the necessary permits.
The initiative implemented managed retreat, beach nourishment, and dune restoration, enhancing coastal protection, preserving habitats, and increasing tourism appeal, despite uncertainties related to sea level rise and erosion trends.
Under the Torres Strait Regional Adaptation and Resilience Plan, well-designed major works are underway across the region to implement adaptation strategies. Actions must protect communities, properties and infrastructure whilst prioritising cultural value.
The 2023 Coastal Master Plan aims to preserve coastal Louisiana’s rich culture, ecosystems, and natural resources threatened by ongoing land loss and flood risk. The plan is updated every 6 years, building on the capabilities and advancements of previous plans to incorporate lessons learnt.
Wallasea Island Nature Reserve is home to Europe's largest coastal habitat restoration project. The partnership between the RSPB and Crossrail showcases how nature conservation and industry can work together to deliver cost-effective innovative approaches to adapting to climate change.
The UK government set up the Coastal Change Pathfinder Programme to allow Local Authorities to explore planning for, managing and adapting to coastal change. Lessons learned highlighted the importance of transparent economic models and community-centric approaches in climate adaptation initiatives.
The Medmerry Managed Realignment Scheme became the largest realignment of the open coast in the UK, achieving objectives for flood risk management and intertidal habitat creation.
Innovative eco-engineering components for slope stabilisation and management were delivered, accounting for future climate change projections of precipitation and temperature. The project is being used as a case study to inform best practice at a nearby village experiencing similar erosion risk.
The EWN initiative, launched by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, focusses on aligning natural and engineering processes to address flood risk, ecosystem loss, and navigation challenges. Projects intend to efficiently and sustainably deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits through collaboration and innovation.
SP Energy Networks, a critical infrastructure provider, implemented adaptive measures against climate-related threats, including flood protection and tree management, enhancing resilience at 52 substation sites.
The Australian Department of Defence has developed a Site Assessment Methodology and Framework and multi-criteria options analysis for better informed climate change planning and adaptation across its bases.
The project employed a participatory, multi-criteria analysis, providing scalable and locally-acceptable coastal adaptation options for areas of Australia's coastline. The guidance provided for local government included GIS-based visualisation of hazards and optimal adaptation pathways at a property-scale.
The Port of London Authorities introduced a flag warning system in response to the adverse effects of high fluvial flows on navigation in the upper River Thames. This action has successfully reduced incidents for rowers, but faces challenges in coordinating responses to severe events.
Gwynedd Council is leading the Fairbourne Moving Forward project to draw upon expertise and knowledge from a range of organisations and the local community as the area moves from a 'Hold the Line' to 'Managed Realignment' policy. The project faces significant challenges in preparing a community for eventual relocation.
A flood adaptation project that secured a €325 million budget, leading to the voluntary relocation of 80 households, with challenges in initial interest and the vulnerability of non-movers.
Under the Promoting Adaptation to Changing Coasts (PACCo) initiative, LORP built upon international collaboration to action habitat restoration and amenities relocation, whilst addressing flood risk and engaging communities.
Taro Island holds important infrastructure and assets but is vulnerable to tsunamis, coastal erosion and cyclones. Steps to mitigate and adapt to climate change are not viable long-term, when the area will need to turn to plans for complete relocation to the mainland.
The Hawke’s Bay Regional Council are utilising guidance from the Ministry for the Environment to develop climate change Adaptation Pathway Plans.
Summerland Credit Union, a customer-owned financial institution, has developed a strategy for climate change risk assessment and adaptation planning.
The ongoing Isle de Jean Charles resettlement is the United States’ first federally-funded, climate-driven relocation. The State of Louisiana is in the final stages of relocating the Native American community who have lost 98% of their land to coastal erosion.
Policy change was actioned following devastating debris flows in the Awatarariki catchment. The 2005 disaster triggered a voluntary managed retreat programme, the implementation of which posed multiple challenges to the Local Authority.
Dutch soft coastal protection design, reclaiming land and creating habitat along a failing dyke. The scheme is recognised for ecological innovation and co-benefits, despite higher costs and uncertainties about habitat longevity.
Climate Ready Clyde has the objective to build a more resilient, prosperous and fairer Glasgow City Region through regional transformation. The adaptation actions for climate resilience are outlined in the regional Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan.
The Hauraki District Council have undergone extensive engagement, utilising a community-led approach for developing coastal Dynamic Adaptive Pathway Planning.
The Marche region ICZM plan, manages coastal erosion with soft techniques. The plan has achieved successes in shoreline advancement and tourism benefits, but faces ongoing challenges such as budget uncertainties and periodic beach nourishment needs.
The Thames-Coromandel District Council are implementing action set out in their Adaptation Pathway Plans which defines thresholds for adaptive action across a large coastal area.
The BFI, an ongoing plan, aims to create a flexible flood risk management strategy for the low-lying Broadland area in the UK, emphasising a hybrid engagement approach and the need for flexibility in strategies due to potential changes in funding.
Amberley Beach, New Zealand, is threatened by coastal erosion and inundation. The District Council have worked collaboratively with the local community to develop a Dynamic Adaptation Plan inclusive of options for Managed Retreat.
The YACC project empowered youth in Vietnam through a transdisciplinary approach to build community-led climate action and resilience against hydrological extremes, flooding, landslides, and soil erosion.
The PACCo initiative demonstrated successful pre-emptive climate change adaptation through a four-pronged strategy, achieving outcomes such as reconnecting rivers, restoring habitats, and enhancing infrastructure resilience.
An innovative adaptation to infrastructure flood risk in the UK. The initiative utilised a reverse auction model and Non-Government Organisation and landowner partnership to action practical Natural Flood Management adaptation techniques.
