Description

Unlocking community-wide adaptation to sea-level rise. Sea-level rise is a pervasive threat to almost all Australian coastal communities, yet adaptation actions are constrained by conflicting community values. This project will produce new knowledge about place-based values held by groups underrepresented in adaptation planning and research: Indigenous peoples, migrants, renters and youth. It will conduct the first longitudinal analysis of Australian coastal values, advance knowledge of the dynamics of place-based values and pilot a new deliberative method that addresses conflicting and changing values. Expected outcomes include strategies that support communities and governments to negotiate diverse coastal values to deliver fairer adaptation solutions where decades of policy have failed..
