项目摘要

Large-scale CoPe: Reducing Climate Risks with Equitable Nature-based Solutions: Engaging Communities on Reef-Lined CoastsThis project supports US national interests to reduce climate risk, confront environmental degradation, enhance adaptive capacities of vulnerable communities, and advance public and private investment in disaster risk prevention and reduction. Coastal zones provide key services to local communities but also carry significant risks from the land and ocean including threats from waves, storm surges, floods, and sea level rise, all of which are increasing with climate change. Protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves can help mitigate these threats while also supporting local economies and societal resilience. This project explores risks and benefits to communities in tropical coral reef-dependent communities where replenishing coral reef and mangrove ecosystems has been piloted and can be scaled up to regional and national management levels as “Nature-based Solutions” (NBS). This project is co-creating new knowledge with coastal communities in Florida, the US Virgin Islands, and Belize on how ecosystem-based processes can help address climate risk and support equitable and appropriate NBS. The team's complementary expertise in engineering, ecology, and social sciences, linking seven academic institutions, multiple local partners, and cross-regional organizations, expands the scope of potential research outcomes to the entire US and ultimately to global tropical coastlines beyond the three focus regions.This project advances our understanding of coastal flood and erosion risk and the role of ecosystems and “Nature-based Solutions” (NBS) to empirically assess hazards reduction, social vulnerability, and overall socio-environmental risk. The goals are to (1) establish an inclusive participatory co-design approach for assessing current and future coastal risks and rigorously quantifying the benefits of NBS, including coral reef and mangrove restoration and protection, for equitably reducing risks while enhancing human well-being, economic recovery, and biodiversity benefits, and (2) determine how community experiences of risk differ within and across sites, how that affects NBS implementation, and how adaptive capacity to mitigate increasing climate change is related to localized impacts. This convergence research approach advances the quantitative, data-driven evaluation of NBS for hazard risk reduction through the assessment of ecosystem social and economic co-benefits. Project results support the development of effective policy changes, community engagement, engineering guidance, and incentives and innovative financing for NBS. The research is standardizing monitoring and analysis methods to allow for effective mainstreaming of active coastal sustainability management solutions. The expanded and standardized use of NBS also opens the opportunity to broaden participation of diverse stakeholders in the climate adaptation process.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

大规模应对：使用基于公平的自然解决方案降低气候风险：在珊瑚礁衬里的沿海地区参与社区，该项目支持美国国家利益，以降低气候风险，面对环境退化，增强易受伤害社区的适应能力，并提高公共和私人投资在预防灾害风险和减少方面。沿海地区为当地社区提供关键服务，但也从土地和海洋中承担着重大风险，包括海浪，风暴潮，地板和海平面上升的威胁，随着气候变化的增加，所有这些风险都在增加。保护和恢复诸如珊瑚礁和红树林等沿海生态系统可以帮助减轻这些威胁，同时还支持当地经济和社会弹性。该项目探讨了热带珊瑚礁依赖性社区的风险和利益，在这些社区中，已经进行了补充珊瑚礁和红树林生态系统，并可以将其扩展到区域和国家管理水平为“基于自然的解决方案”（NBS）。该项目正在与佛罗里达州的沿海社区，美国维尔京群岛和伯利兹共同创造新知识，以如何帮助解决气候风险并支持公平和适当的NBS。该团队在工程，生态学和社会科学方面的完整专业知识，将七个学术机构，多个本地合作伙伴和跨区域组织联系起来，将潜在的研究成果的范围扩展到整个美国，最终与全球热带海岸线扩展到三个焦点区域以外的全球热带海岸线。减少，社会脆弱性和整体社会环境风险。目标是（1）建立一种包容性参与共同设计方法，用于评估当前和未来的沿海风险，并严格量化NBS的益处，包括珊瑚礁和红树林的恢复和保护，以减少风险，同时增强人类福祉，经济恢复和生物衰老的益处，并确定社区的风险以及（2）确定如何实现和（2）确定范围的风险以及（2）减轻气候变化的增加与局部影响有关。这种融合研究方法通过评估生态系统社会和经济共同利益来提高NBS降低危险风险的定量，数据驱动评估。项目结果支持开发有效的政策变化，社区参与，工程指导以及NBS的激励措施和创新融资。这项研究是标准化监测和分析方法，以有效地主流沿海可持续性管理解决方案。扩展和标准化的NBS还为扩大潜水员利益相关者在气候适应过程中的参与的机会提供了机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估NSF的法定任务。
