项目摘要

Roughly 680 million people live by the coast on land less than 10 metres above sea level (11% of the global population) (Oppenheimer et al. 2019). In England alone, 370,000 homes are located in areas with a 0.5% or greater annual risk from coastal flooding (CCC 2018). The risks of living in the coastal zone will increase further this century even with the ongoing efforts to mitigate climate change. With 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, an associated average sea level rise of 0.26-0.77m is predicted (Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2018), and the number of people living by the coast and at risk of coastal flooding is also predicted to increase (Neumann et al. 2015). Engineered defences are an effective approach to manage coastal flooding on the South Coast of England, but households may also be expected to adapt their actions and behaviour as climate change drives increased coastal flood and erosion risk. Both HM Government and the Environment Agency, key players in coastal adaptation policy, have suggested they think there is a role and responsibility for households (EA 2020; HM Government 2020), and my PhD research explored how households participate in adaptation on the coast and their motivation to do so. "Adaptation" describes the actions we as individuals, organisations and governments can make to respond to actual and expected changes in the environment; "transformational adaptation" poses the possibility of not just responding, but altering the very nature of our societies and tackling long-term challenges now. Transformational adaptation, in contrast with incremental adaptation, focuses on the future and long-term change, on rapid and revolutionary changes to the nature of a system, and on creating new opportunities from environmental challenges such as coastal flooding and climate change (Suckall et al. 2019).This fellowship, "Fostering Household Motivation and Capacity for Transformational Adaptation to Coastal Flooding", provides me with the exciting opportunity to explore transformational adaptation on the South Coast of England through academic, policy and public facing impact and research activities. However, our understanding of transformational adaptation remains vague and poorly defined, and it has rarely been examined from a household point of view, nor from a sociological disciplinary perspective. To explore transformational adaptation of households, I will conduct further research into what opportunities and barriers there are to households adapting to coastal and climate change, and develop a competitive research proposal to further this research agenda that is crucial for adaptation in the UK and beyond. To achieve this, I will engage directly with policy stakeholders, coastal management stakeholders and community groups on the South Coast through workshops, a 6-part podcast series, interviews, and co-developing a policy brief. To inform these actions, I want to improve my depth of understanding of sociological research theories and methods, as this discipline offers approaches by which to ask questions such as: what is the role of the household in coastal adaptation decision-making; what is the nature of household responsibility to flood risk management; and how is a "flood risk responsible citizen" being framed by current policy? Gaining this increased knowledge and expertise in sociological methods will support further publications, establishing my academic profile, and furthering my career in researching coastal adaptation at the household scale.

大约有6.8亿人生活在海拔不到10米的海岸线上（占全球人口的11%）（Oppenheimer et al. 2019）。仅在英格兰，就有370，000所房屋位于沿海洪水年风险为0.5%或更高的地区（CCC 2018）。在本世纪，即使人们正在努力减缓气候变化，生活在沿海地区的风险也将进一步增加。随着1.5摄氏度的变暖，预计相关的平均海平面上升0.26- 0.77米（Hoegh-Guldberg等人，2018年），居住在海岸边并面临沿海洪水风险的人数预计也会增加（Neumann等人，2015年）。工程防御是管理英格兰南海岸沿海洪水的有效方法，但随着气候变化导致沿海洪水和侵蚀风险增加，家庭也可能需要调整其行动和行为。HM政府和环境局，沿海适应政策的关键参与者，都表示他们认为家庭有作用和责任（EA 2020; HM政府2020），我的博士研究探讨了家庭如何参与沿海的适应以及他们这样做的动机。“适应”描述了我们作为个人、组织和政府可以采取的行动，以应对环境中实际和预期的变化;“转型适应”不仅提供了应对的可能性，而且还改变了我们社会的本质，并立即应对长期挑战。与渐进式适应不同，转型式适应侧重于未来和长期变化，侧重于系统性质的快速和革命性变化，侧重于从沿海洪水和气候变化等环境挑战中创造新的机会（Suckall et al. 2019）。该奖学金，“培养家庭动力和能力，以转型适应沿海洪水”，为我提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，通过学术，政策和面向公众的影响和研究活动，探索英格兰南海岸的转型适应。然而，我们对转型适应的理解仍然模糊，定义不清，很少从家庭的角度进行研究，也没有从社会学学科的角度。为了探索家庭的转型适应，我将进一步研究家庭适应沿海和气候变化的机会和障碍，并制定有竞争力的研究计划，以进一步推动这一研究议程，这对英国及其他地区的适应至关重要。为了实现这一目标，我将直接与政策利益相关者，沿海管理利益相关者和社区团体在南海岸通过研讨会，6部分播客系列，访谈和共同制定政策简报。通知这些行动，我想提高我的社会学研究理论和方法的理解深度，因为这门学科提供的方法来问问题，如：什么是家庭在沿海适应决策的作用;什么是家庭责任的性质，以洪水风险管理;以及如何是一个“洪水风险负责任的公民”正在制定现行政策？在社会学方法方面获得更多的知识和专业知识将支持更多的出版物，建立我的学术形象，并促进我在家庭规模上研究沿海适应的职业生涯。
