Despite uncertainty regarding the manifestations of climate change there is widespread agreement that any impacts will be unevenly shared. The costs to individuals and communities of these uneven outcomes are significant. Crucially, adaptation policy must understand the multi-dimensional nature of these uneven outcomes so as to ameliorate negative costs. In its integration of a multi-method approach to understanding adaptation to extreme weather events in coastal settlements, this project aims to advance understanding of well targeted and effective interventions. It combines the skills and knowledge of researchers trained across a range of disciplines to address these important real world issues.

尽管气候变化的表现形式存在不确定性，但人们普遍认为，任何影响都将是不均衡的。这些不均衡的结果给个人和社区带来了巨大的代价。至关重要的是，适应政策必须理解这些不均衡结果的多层面性质，以减轻负面成本。该项目综合了多种方法来理解沿海住区对极端天气事件的适应，旨在促进对目标明确和有效的干预措施的理解。它结合了在一系列学科培训的研究人员的技能和知识，以解决这些重要的真实的世界问题。
