Funding Programme: Northern Periphery Programme 2007–2013 CoastAdapt is a project aimed to safeguard people living in North Atlantic coastal communities and help them adapt to the impacts of climate change. Five pilot study sites in Iceland, Norway, Ireland and Scotland have been identified to determine the issues experienced by local communities. Municipalities and citizens, working together with project partners, will develop and trial adaptation strategies designed to cope with the impacts of climate change. |
