Download or read book Adaptation to Coastal Storms in Atlantic Canada written by Liette Vasseur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief is based on an analysis that was performed on the 2010 winter storms that caused considerable damage to coastal communities in Atlantic Canada. The hazards that occurred were associated with storm surge, high waves, coastal erosion, and flooding. The analysis covered a large multisite longitudinal project, where a participatory action research (PAR) approach was used to understand how people in 10 coastal communities perceive and experience extreme weather events and to enhance their capacity to adapt and improve their resilience. This brief exposes the outcome of two series of interviews and activities that were conducted during the project, as well as the lessons learned, and general elements that should be considered when researchers collaborate with communities to define adaptation and resilience strategies. It makes an important contribution to the application of PAR as an integrated (social-ecological) approach to resilience and how such an approach can be adapted also to other communities.

Download or read book Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Strategies for Coastal Communities written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of research and projects regarding climate change adaptation in coastal areas, providing government and nongovernment bodies with a sound basis to promote climate change adaptation efforts.According to the 5th Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), coastal zones are highly vulnerable to climate change, and climate-driven impacts may be further exacerbated by other human-induced pressures. Apart from sea-level rise, which poses a threat to both human well-being and property, extreme events such as cyclones and storm surges lead not only to significant damage to property and infrastructure, but also to salt water intrusion, groundwater salinisation, and intensified soil erosion, among many other problems. There are also numerous negative impacts on the natural environment and biodiversity, including damage to important wetlands and habitats that safeguard the overall ecological balance, and consequently the provision of ecosystem services and goods on which the livelihoods of millions of people depend. As such, there is a need for a better understanding of how climate change affects coastal areas and communities, and for the identification of processes, methods and tools that can help the countries and communities in coastal areas to adapt and become more resilient. It is against this background that this book has been produced. It includes papers written by scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies, pursuing research and/or executing climate change projects in coastal areas and working with coastal communities. Focusing on “managing climate change in coastal regions”, it showcases valuable lessons learned from research and field projects and presents best practices to foster climate change adaptation in coastal areas and communities, which can be implemented elsewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tens of millions of Americans are at risk from sea level rise, increased tidal flooding, and intensifying storms. A Blueprint for Coastal Adaptation identifies a bold new research and policy agenda and provides implementable options for coastal communities responding to these threats. In this book, coastal adaptation experts present a range of climate adaptation policies that could protect coastal communities against increasing risk, including concrete financing recommendations. Coastal adaptation will not be easy, but it is achievable using varied approaches. A Blueprint for Coastal Adaptation will inspire innovative and cross-disciplinary thinking about coastal policy at the state and local level while providing actionable, realistic policy and planning options for adaptation professionals and policymakers.

Book excerpt: Coastal communities face increasing threat from climate change as sea level rise increases chronic shoreline erosion and more frequent storms lead to sporadic but huge damages. A natural conflict between eroding beaches and growing coastal development has led to active coastal management policy to stabilize shoreline and protect coastal property and infrastructure, including seawalls, jetties, and beach nourishment. Beach nourishment – the process of periodically rebuilding an eroding section of a beach with sand dredged from offshore sand reserves or inlets, is the dominant climate adaptation policy along the US Atlantic coastline. Whereas existing literature focuses on the valuation of beach amenities, the economic impact of adaptation policies is not well understood. This dissertation focuses on beach nourishment as a climate adaptation tool and examines (1) the impact capitalized in the coastal real estate market, (2) factors that determine the frequency of nourishment and (3) whether there is sorting across housing groups based on the expectation of beach stability. In the second chapter, we use a quasi-experimental approach to examine the capitalized effect of nourishment in northern Outer Banks, North Carolina and attempt to isolate storm protection effects from the amenity value of beach nourishment using the occurrence of Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Results show that the benefits from widened beaches are capitalized by oceanfront and nearshore homes targeted by the nourishment project. We also find positive spillover effects in amenity values but the benefits of storm risk reduction are highly localized. Heterogeneity in the distribution of benefits across different locations motivates the need for spatially targeted polices to sustain shoreline stabilization. In the third chapter, we use a duration model to empirically test the influence of both supply and demand factors on the incidence of beach nourishment using data from coastal towns in North Carolina and New Jersey. We find that close access to sand reserves results in more frequent nourishment. Results also show that towns with high property values, high erosion rates, large shoreline lengths, and low elevation are likely to accelerate beach nourishment. These results complement findings in numerical models linking coastline change with economic decisions of beach nourishment (Smith, et al., 2009). As climate change induces sea-level rise and changing storm patterns, the demand for beach nourishment is increasing while the supply of nourishment quality sand is becoming scarce. Our findings motivate the need for beach towns to coordinate both the dredging of sand sources and where the sand is placed for effective coastal adaptation and efficient allocation of common pool sand resources. In the fourth chapter, we begin to examine sorting behavior across housing groups along the coast using a structural model. Households with different preferences and information (reflecting knowledge of coastal dynamics and expectations of management interventions) likely select distinct locations that offer the best price-quality tradeoff conditional on their information. Location decisions may depend on the expectation of beach stability rather than the current beach quality alone. We use a discrete choice model to examine the willingness to pay for beach nourishment across space using data of three coastal counties in North Carolina.

Download or read book Advancing the Science of Climate Change written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for-and in many cases is already affecting-a broad range of human and natural systems. The compelling case for these conclusions is provided in Advancing the Science of Climate Change, part of a congressionally requested suite of studies known as America's Climate Choices. While noting that there is always more to learn and that the scientific process is never closed, the book shows that hypotheses about climate change are supported by multiple lines of evidence and have stood firm in the face of serious debate and careful evaluation of alternative explanations. As decision makers respond to these risks, the nation's scientific enterprise can contribute through research that improves understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change and also is useful to decision makers at the local, regional, national, and international levels. The book identifies decisions being made in 12 sectors, ranging from agriculture to transportation, to identify decisions being made in response to climate change. Advancing the Science of Climate Change calls for a single federal entity or program to coordinate a national, multidisciplinary research effort aimed at improving both understanding and responses to climate change. Seven cross-cutting research themes are identified to support this scientific enterprise. In addition, leaders of federal climate research should redouble efforts to deploy a comprehensive climate observing system, improve climate models and other analytical tools, invest in human capital, and improve linkages between research and decisions by forming partnerships with action-oriented programs.
