This course covers the management of coastal dynamics and the risks this poses to society in a changing climate. The course is interdisciplinary in nature and explores how physical geography, human geography, social sciences, public policy, engineering and ecology are all fundamental to managing coastal climate change risks for ecosystems and society. We will explore core concepts including risk, vulnerability and adaptation to coastal climate change, drawing on real life examples from around the world. By carrying out vulnerability assessments/adaptation planning as a team, you will gain experience in practical skills including consultancy style report writing, facilitation and workshop planning.
