Our new report is now out for discussion with the Coast-R Network community of practice and we’d love to hear from you.
The report addresses Coastal Change and Transition, and its impacts on coastal communities and the natural capital of our coastal zones.
It draws on our learnings in Year 1 of the Coast-R programme including our Collaborative Coastal Enquiry, workshops in places affected by coastal change, and lots of conversations with practitioners, policymakers and researchers.
In the report, we define key terms, provide a brief overview of coastal governance and policy, report against our three cross-cutting themes – Working Together at Interfaces; Living with Coastal (Un)certainties; and People, Places and Participation – and offer recommendations for action. It is aimed at a broad audience of policymakers, practitioners and researchers.
As part of the co-productive ethos of the Coast-R Network, we’d love to hear what you think. You can contribute ideas and suggestions via our short survey until 7 Nov 2025. We’ll then update and issue the final version of the report in a shareable version before the end of 2025.
The report is intended as the first in a regular series from the Coast-R team. Other coastal and marine resilience topics will be considered in later briefs – again, please do let us know via the form if you’ve got suggestions about topics to cover.
