Confusion: Mitigation vs. Adaptation
IPCC AR4, 2007: Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as isnow evident from observations of increases in global average air andocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and risingglobal mean sea level.

Conclusions
The methodologies were trialling are proving to beuseful tools of adaptation at the local scale
As the project continues, well learn more aboutwhich approach is most practical and effective in agiven coastal context
The outputs of the project are ultimately intendedto support local climate adaptation in coastal zonesthroughout Europe and beyond watch this space!
