Response - A good practice guide on responding to the Risks from Climate Change in Coastal Zones

The purpose of this guide is to assist those within regional and local authorities, together with other stakeholders with an interest in coastal zones, by providing advice on sustainable coastal risk management through the preparation and use of integrated coastal evolution and risk maps. A sequence of maps to inform planning of coastal risks in the context of climate change has been developed as part of the 'Response' project. Research was based on detailed investigations within five European coastal regions which are representative of conditions fronting the European seas. The advice and guidance draws on practical experience from work undertaken over the years 2003-2006, within five study sites in England, France and Italy.
