Master actionable frameworks and nature-based solutions to safeguard vulnerable communities and build resilience along rapidly shifting coastlines.
As climate change, sea level rise, and evolving shoreline dynamics place increasing pressure on coastal communities and infrastructure, effective adaptation requires more than reacting to historical trends. This practical course explores how engineers and planners can develop resilient coastal adaptation strategies by understanding coastal processes, assessing long-term risks, and evaluating engineering and management interventions under uncertainty. Participants will gain practical insight into adaptation planning frameworks, shoreline behaviour, and decision-making approaches that support sustainable, resilient coastal environments.
