Sharing of Best Practices on Integrated Coastal
Management (ICM) in a Context of Adaptation to
Climate Change in Coastal Areas:
A project for the European Commission
(DG Environment)
Nov. 2012 – Feb. 2015
Best Practices on ICM and CCA

Task A: fact sheets on Member State policies and
measures
• Based on desk research and questionnaires
• Thank you to all the MS experts who contributed
to and reviewed the fact sheets

Task A: fact sheets on measures for adaptation to climate
change in coastal management
• 22 fact sheets prepared:
– 5 ‘green’ measures
– 7 ‘grey’ measures
– 10 ‘soft’ measures
• Main information sources included EU projects and
OURCOAST case studies
• Measures to be published on Climate-ADAPT portal and
the OURCOAST successor site

Task B: Background paper on ICM and CCA
• Following comments on draft guidance document
presented to the June 2014 meeting of ICM and MSP
experts in Athens, it was agreed with DG Environment to
prepare a background paper
• The background document goes a long way towards
providing guidance in relation to how ICM can deliver CCA.
DG ENV & DG CLIMA will reflect on whether further
guidance is needed and, if so, what an appropriate way
forward might be in light of the review of the EU CC
Adaptation Strategy in 2017

Task D: Integrating OURCOAST with other platforms
• Feasibility study identified MARATLAS and ClimateADAPT as key platforms for integration
• Work on measures and on new case studies was
closely integrated with update of Climate-ADAPT
