5 HOW DOES IT FIT | four inter-related themes
Dynamic coasts explores how and why coastal systems are ever-changing from both natural processes and human interventions. Pathways to coastal sustainability explores prevailing practices, institutional structures and processes of development. Human development and coasts considers the consequences of human activity on coastal systems to produce frameworks to address constraints and opportunities for sustainability. Our coastal futures will chart a new landscape to co-design and co-produce knowledge to develop scenarios for more sustainable coastal futures. FutureEarthCoasts.org
