The Building Exposure User Story in the CoCliCo platform offers crucial insights into coastal flooding risks for buildings under various climate scenarios. Combining OpenStreetMap data with advanced flood maps, it aids policymakers and planners in assessing vulnerabilities, making informed decisions, and enhancing coastal resilience through evidence-based visualizations and scenario analyses.
The CoCliCo platform’s User Story on Damage Costs of Exposed Infrastructures evaluates economic impacts of flooding under various climate scenarios. It aids policymakers and planners by providing city-scale estimates using hazard data and vulnerability curves. This tool facilitates informed adaptation strategies, promoting efficient investments while highlighting the complexities of infrastructure assessment.
The Adaptation Based on Cost-Benefit Analysis User Story in the CoCliCo platform helps identify the most cost-effective ways to manage coastal flood risks under different climate scenarios. It evaluates three key adaptation strategies:
Protection – Building coastal defences like seawalls or restoring dune fields.
Retreat – Relocating people and assets away from flood zones.
Accommodation – Flood-proofing buildings to withstand extreme events.
Three years in the making, CoCliCo is approaching an exciting time… we’re preparing to launch! But before we do, we want some final input from you. We are developing a free online platform that will enable users to: We’ve collaborated closely with policymakers, urban planners, and researchers to drive the development of tailored features, such […]
As CoCliCo moves into its final year, we are excited to share the progress we’ve made and what lies ahead as we continue to support coastal regions with data and tools to help them manage coastal risk and adapt to climate change.
Collaboratively written by Jacinta Hamley, Gonéri Le Cozannet, Carme Machí Castañer & Paul Sayers The recent floods in Valencia have left a heart-wrenching toll on the region, where days of relentless rain culminated in a disaster of unprecedented scale. Over 200 lives were lost, communities were displaced, and critical infrastructure was left in ruins. This […]
As coastal hazards rise with climate change, European cities face increasing exposure to flooding. A recent CoCliCo study published in Nature compares several built-up area datasets to assess this exposure and highlights the need for precise data in urban planning. Information on urban land use beyond the urban-rural divide can enhance assessments of coastal hazards […]
Land subsidence increases the risk of flooding in low-lying coastal zones by amplifying relative sea-level rise (SLR). In this study, the current coastal land subsidence at the scale of Europe is assessed for the first time using the new Copernicus European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), released in 2022. The results suggest that nearly half of […]
Description Climate change severely impacts coastal areas and communities, such as social and economic damage, Property and infrastructure damage, Coastal submersion and erosion, Threats to human health and safety, and Loss of coastal wetlands and biodiversity. Coastal resilience is thus a critical environmental mitigation strategy. Teaming up as the Adapt4Coast Cluster, 4 EU-funded projects (SCORE, CoCliCo, PROTECT, REST-COAST) have joined […]
On April 2nd, three experts, Thierry Langreney, Myriam Mérad, and Gonéri Le Cozannet (coordinator of CoCliCo), presented a report on insurance and climate change to the ministers responsible for Ecology and Economics in France, Christophe Béchu and Bruno Le Maire. This comprehensive report delves into the adaptation and mitigation challenges facing the insurance sector in […]
