This Decade Action will enhance coastal resilience through:
- Technical expertise and innovation: we will provide scientifically based tools and best practices for the entire natural system, from source to sea, enabling global application to various coastal regions
- Capacity enhancement: our initiatives will empower professionals, organizations and infrastructure managers with essential tools to implement resilience-enhancing activities (e.g. critical infrastructure resilience, adaptive building, nature-based solutions), leveraging our open-source software and hands-on training sessions.
- Policy and governance: we will facilitate collaboration and knowledge transfer between the DCC-CR and the IPDC (International Panel on Deltas, Coastal Areas and Islands) to accelerate climate adaptation internationally at the local level.
- Collaboration with international networks: we plan to strengthen collaborations among other UN Ocean Decade Centers and related international networks.
