ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Flagship Research Project
Developing tools for the planning and management of our response to the rise of the sea level
CoCliCo is a four-year long project funded by the Horizon Program 2020 of the European Union (EU.3.5.1– adaptation to climate change) with a budget of €5,999,641.25 (100% EU contribution).
Challenge
In view of the evident rise in sea level, great concerns are raised in Europe on the potential impact generated by coastal flooding, as many infrastructures are located near the coast or on low areas.
Solution
Improving the decision-making processes on risk management and adaptation to climate change on the European coastal areas thanks to the information provided by an open-source web platform that reports on current and future coastal risks.
Results
This web platform shall combine new layers of high-quality geospatial information (coastal dynamics, impacts, exposure, vulnerability, risk and adaptation) and will offer the option to view, download and analyse multiple scenarios. It will promote close communication between users, the information technologies used for the management of geospatial data and the leading science in risk adaptation.
