📣 The Climate Risk Institute (CRI), in collaboration with DHI and the Natural Assets Initiative (NAI), is pleased to announce the development of a new Coastal Project Options Appraisal Guide to support climate-resilient decision-making in coastal regions across Canada! Funded by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) through their Standards to Support Resilience in Infrastructure Program, this project will result in a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) on Coastal Options Appraisal to guide consistent and transparent decision making. From nature-based solutions to built infrastructure, this PAS will support practitioners in evaluating and comparing coastal adaptation options using a shared, evidence-based framework. A public review period will take place this spring to gather feedback on the draft guide. We’re interested in hearing from those who make or inform coastal decisions, including technical experts, as well as staff from municipal, regional provincial and Indigenous governments. The insights gathered will help shape the Guide so that it reflects the needs of coastal regions across the country. 🔗 To learn more about the project and find out how to get involved:  https://lnkd.in/gc5r-2gj #ClimateAdaptation #CoastalResilience #NatureBasedSolutions #CanAdapt #StandardsCouncilofCanada  --------- Avis public : Guide d'évaluation des options de gestion du littoral 📣 Le Climate Risk Institute (CRI), en collaboration avec DHI et le Natural Assets Initiative (NAI), est fier d'annoncer l’élaboration du nouveau Guide d’évaluation des options de gestion du littoral pour soutenir la prise de décision résiliente au climat dans les régions côtières du Canada !  Financé par le Conseil canadien des normes (CCN) (Standards Council of Canada (SCC) dans le cadre de son Programme de normes pour des infrastructures résilientes, ce projet aboutira à une Spécification accessible au public (PAS) sur l'évaluation des options de gestion du littoral pour guider une prise de décision cohérente et transparente. Des solutions fondées sur la nature aux infrastructures construites, ce PAS aidera les praticiens à évaluer et à comparer les options pour la gestion des zones côtières en utilisant un cadre partagé et basé sur des données probantes. Une période de révision publique aura lieu ce printemps pour recueillir des commentaires sur le guide provisoire. Nous sommes intéressés à entendre ceux qui prennent ou influencent les décisions côtières, y compris les experts techniques, ainsi que le personnel des gouvernements municipaux, régionaux, provinciaux et autochtones. Les informations recueillies aideront à façonner le Guide afin qu'il reflète les besoins des régions côtières à travers le pays. 🔗 Pour en savoir plus sur le projet et découvrir comment participer : https://lnkd.in/gc5r-2gj #adaptationclimatique #résiliencecôtière #solutionsfondéessurlanature #CanAdapt #ConseilCanadienDesNormes
