Sea level rise, erosion and saltwater intrusion all pose urgent threats for coastal communities worldwide.
At the heart of the response are organisations like the UN Decade Collaborative Centre for Coastal Resilience (DCC-CR), where Senior Communication Officer Federica Orsi and Research Fellow Edwin Espina are working to bridge the gap between research, technology and local action.
When we spoke at the 2025 European Climate Change Adaptation (ECCA) conference in Rimini, they shared how UN DCC-CR is partnering with Rimini Blue Lab on innovative projects like the Parco del Mare, developing digital tools to translate data into action and training decision-makers, industry and youth.
Their aim: to make climate science more accessible, empower communities and build a global network for coastal resilience.
