ETC technical paper

This technical paper, authored by European partners of the ETC ACC, reviews climate change impacts on Europe's coastal areas, adaptation policies, and actions. The objective is to collate crucial issues and messages rather than provide an exhaustive analysis. This evaluation supports the EEA’s coastal assessment (2012) and the European Commission’s Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) strategy review. The review is organized by marine regions defined in the 2008 Marine Strategy Framework Directive and covers topics such as biodiversity, economic activities, and case studies relevant to climate adaptation.

  1. ETC technical paper European Coastal Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation: A review of evidence

  2. Background to the review • Undertaken by European partners of the ETC ACC – AEA, PBL, UBA-D and REC • The purpose of the Technical Paper is to review evidence of the impacts of climate change, adaptation policies, measures and actions across Europe’s coasts – it seeks to capture key points/issues/messages and does not aim to be comprehensive • The review will contribute to EEA’s coastal assessment (2012) which will support the European Commission ICZM strategy review • Review categorised by the same marine regions as the 2008 European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) - which established European Marine Regions (and sub-regions) on the basis of geographical and environmental criteria

  3. European Marine Regions • Baltic Sea • North-east Atlantic Ocean: • Greater North Sea • Celtic Seas • Bay of Biscay and Iberian Coast • Macaronesian biogeographic region (waters surrounding Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands) • Mediterranean Sea: • Western Mediterranean Sea • Adriatic Sea AND Ionian and Central Mediterranean Sea (combined regions for ease of reporting) • Aegean-Levantine Sea • Black Sea

  4. Topics covered • Marine region review covering: • Physical geography and oceanography • Biodiversity and ecosystems • Human geography • Economic activities • Climate change impacts • Climate change vulnerabilities • Climate change adaptation • Case studies

  5. Draft report contents • Introduction • Background to the review • Policy settings • Scientific basis • Synthesis • Cross marine region key messages – adaptation and vulnerability • Marine region and sub-region key messages • Chapter on each Marine region/sub-region (based on topics from slide 4) • Annexes – including: • Table of relevant coastal impacts, vulnerability and adaptation research projects across Europe by marine region
