Building coastal resilience for a climate-accelerated world
Coastal cities and their key stakeholders face growing, debilitating uncertainty that undermines resilience and sustainability performance. The Scorecard equips public agencies, private sector leaders, and communities with a practitioner-led framework for enhancing prevention, response and recovery capabilities for coastal zone settlements.
ARISE · Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies
Aligned to the 10 Essentials for Making Cities Resilient by 2030 with direct oversight and support from ARISE, the private sector alliance arm of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) — the Scorecard combines institutional credibility, global community of practice, and proven resilience methodologies to coastal disaster risk reduction.
World Ocean Council (Barcelona) · Centre of Excellence for Coastal Resilience
This global, open-source initiative is nested within the World Ocean Council Centre of Excellence for Coastal Resilience in Barcelona — bringing together ocean industry leadership, institutional capital and philanthropy, and global networks in service of coastal communities worldwide.
Our Mission
To accelerate coastal resilience strategy development by connecting stakeholders with evidence-based tools, peer networks, blue finance pathways, and cross-sector capacity building.
The Challenge
From episodic hazard to deep uncertainty — cities now navigate non-linear, compound coastal risks with no probability ceiling, undermining planning across every time horizon.
The Response
A multi-generational, multi-sequence strategy spanning prevention, response, and recovery — adapting greenfield and brownfield assets, sites, and coastlines to stabilize communities and economies.
