Increasing the capacity of communities to adapt to climate change can take many forms: this webinar features two presentations addressing increasing the adaptive capacity of coasts. The first, funded by AdSci, will provide an overview of how communities are working to increase coastal adaptive capacity and community resilience to sea level rise through workshops and vulnerability assessments that identify potential adaptation pathways, funding and data needs.

The second project featured will be that of the West CAP team, the California-Nevada Climate Adaptation Program, which will highlight their approach to providing technical assistance and integrating regional data and projections on sea level rise, floods caused by coastal storms and beach erosion. This work aims to assist in the development of adaptation pathways and strategies, including dunes as NbS, and co-produces and integrates climate, social science and indigenous management research to support the advancement of effective and equitable land planning.
