Coast-Scapes (rethinking COASTal landSCAPES with climate-resilient interventions: systemic land-to-sea solutions) proposes to rethink land-coast-sea systems under climate change for enhanced resilience and biodiversity gains. It seeks to develop and transfer climate resilient solutions, often discussed but seldom implemented in a systemic manner, for the land-coast-sea continuum, demonstrating co-benefits across: a) socioeconomic sectors b) geographical domains c) temporal scales.
By combining Core Pilots, to demonstrate and implement systemic solutions, Replicating Pilots, to export resilience plans and Transfer Pilots, to prove the scalability of the approach, COAST-SCAPES supposes a quantum leap for climate resilience.
GeoEcoMar co-leads the Danube Delta Replication Pilot, bringing scientific expertise and local knowledge to adapt and test systemic resilience solutions in this transboundary ecosystem. In parallel, GEM leads dissemination and training under WP5, delivering workshops, e-learning, and certification to empower administrations, practitioners, and civil society.
