To develop, test and disseminate approaches to the co-creation of nature based and natural process solutions to improve adaptive capacity of the 2Seas region to the water related effects of climate change.
The project will develop more open and transparent governance for adaptive water management by embedding co-creation in policy frameworks, especially spatial and water management strategies - leading to greater awareness and stakeholder-led action to improve climate resilience.Co-Adapt will:
1. Directly decrease risk of flood & drought to 30,000ha through co-created NbS, leading to €5.4M of savings from reduced damages, and €5.8M of savings compared to using traditional hard engineering.
2. Provide 12,370 properties with enhanced flood protection.
3. Involve 3000 stakeholders in co-creation leading to changed public attitudes to water & climate risks, 80% of participants feeling involved and supporting NbS measures.
4. Co-Adapt approach used by 50 organisations.Co-Adapt will:
