Sandwatch is a climate change and coastal monitoring programme which encourages the development of sustainable approaches to address beach environment challenges, while also stimulating local climate change adaptation measures.
These served to develop a Guide on Adaptation Options in Coastal Areas for Local Decision-makers, which presents adaptation options to expand opportunities for decision makers.
All that was required was a little training of the local staff and some adaptation of the supply chain.
These resources helps in building the resilience and adaptation of local communities, to the impact of natural disasters such as droughts, floods, desertification, low productivity, etc.
The new Indian locations could capitalize on their proximity to over 100 supplier factories in the country, an advantage that could potentially allow for easier adaptation to local demands for trends, too.
For this reason, it is essential to understand local impacts and to build adaptation planning and action around community-level concerns, priorities and aspirations.
This session focused on recognizing that climate change adaptation must be rooted in local priorities.
This report, produced by the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force, provides an update on actions in key areas of Federal adaptation, including: building resilience in local communities, safeguarding critical natural resources such as freshwater, and providing accessible climate information and tools to help decision-makers manage climate risks.
By adding climate change adaptation and fish and wildlife benefits to their highway projects, local and state agencies can stretch their highway budgets further by tapping into federal wildlife funds, said Corrie Miller, executive director of the Ausable River Association in the northeastern Adirondacks.
Towards that end, scientists, city planners, academics, advocates, and environmentalists, as well as Federal, state, and local officials and innovative industry leaders, are working hard to better understand the efficacy and impacts of various adaptation strategies.
