Description
Short description of the project: COAST is a two-and-a-half-years project funded by the Northern Periphery and Arctic programme (NPA), aimed at dealing with shared challenges faced by coastal communities of the NPA region related to climate change, loss of biodiversity and cultural heritage, and the sustainable exploitation of natural resources.
Tangible results: The project developed a Sustainable Resilient Coasts Toolbox that includes guidance on stakeholder mapping, scenario building, and practical uses of innovative technologies, including drones, for sustainable development.
Application/relevance: The Toolbox is designed to assist local authorities in the region to plan for and manage SMART blue growth, and help them build capacity towards sustainable coastal development.
