项目摘要

Large-scale CoPe: Reducing Climate Risks with Equitable Nature-based Solutions: Engaging Communities on Reef-Lined CoastsThis project supports US national interests to reduce climate risk, confront environmental degradation, enhance adaptive capacities of vulnerable communities, and advance public and private investment in disaster risk prevention and reduction. Coastal zones provide key services to local communities but also carry significant risks from the land and ocean including threats from waves, storm surges, floods, and sea level rise, all of which are increasing with climate change. Protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves can help mitigate these threats while also supporting local economies and societal resilience. This project explores risks and benefits to communities in tropical coral reef-dependent communities where replenishing coral reef and mangrove ecosystems has been piloted and can be scaled up to regional and national management levels as “Nature-based Solutions” (NBS). This project is co-creating new knowledge with coastal communities in Florida, the US Virgin Islands, and Belize on how ecosystem-based processes can help address climate risk and support equitable and appropriate NBS. The team's complementary expertise in engineering, ecology, and social sciences, linking seven academic institutions, multiple local partners, and cross-regional organizations, expands the scope of potential research outcomes to the entire US and ultimately to global tropical coastlines beyond the three focus regions.This project advances our understanding of coastal flood and erosion risk and the role of ecosystems and “Nature-based Solutions” (NBS) to empirically assess hazards reduction, social vulnerability, and overall socio-environmental risk. The goals are to (1) establish an inclusive participatory co-design approach for assessing current and future coastal risks and rigorously quantifying the benefits of NBS, including coral reef and mangrove restoration and protection, for equitably reducing risks while enhancing human well-being, economic recovery, and biodiversity benefits, and (2) determine how community experiences of risk differ within and across sites, how that affects NBS implementation, and how adaptive capacity to mitigate increasing climate change is related to localized impacts. This convergence research approach advances the quantitative, data-driven evaluation of NBS for hazard risk reduction through the assessment of ecosystem social and economic co-benefits. Project results support the development of effective policy changes, community engagement, engineering guidance, and incentives and innovative financing for NBS. The research is standardizing monitoring and analysis methods to allow for effective mainstreaming of active coastal sustainability management solutions. The expanded and standardized use of NBS also opens the opportunity to broaden participation of diverse stakeholders in the climate adaptation process.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

大规模 CoPe：通过公平的基于自然的解决方案减少气候风险：让珊瑚礁海岸社区参与该项目支持美国国家利益，减少气候风险，应对环境退化，增强脆弱社区的适应能力，并推动公共和私人投资沿海地区为当地社区提供关键服务，但也面临着来自陆地和海洋的重大风险，包括海浪、风暴潮、洪水和海平面上升的威胁，所有这些都随着气候变化而增加。恢复珊瑚礁和红树林等沿海生态系统有助于减轻这些威胁，同时也支持当地经济和社会复原力。该项目探讨了依赖热带珊瑚礁的社区的风险和收益，这些社区已经试点恢复珊瑚礁和红树林生态系统。作为“基于自然的解决方案”（NBS），该项目正在与佛罗里达州、美属维尔京群岛和伯利兹的沿海社区共同创造关于基于生态系统的流程如何提供帮助的新知识。该团队在工程、生态学和社会科学方面具有互补的专业知识，将七个学术机构、多个当地合作伙伴和跨区域组织联系起来，将潜在研究成果的范围扩大到整个美国和地区。最终覆盖三个重点区域之外的全球热带海岸线。该项目增进了我们对沿海洪水和侵蚀风险以及生态系统和“基于自然的解决方案”（NBS）的作用的理解，以实证评估减灾、社会脆弱性和整体社会影响环境风险。目标是 (1) 建立包容性参与式共同设计方法，评估当前和未来的沿海风险，并严格量化 NBS 的效益，包括珊瑚礁和红树林的恢复和保护，以公平地降低风险，同时提高人类福祉，经济复苏和生物多样性效益，以及 (2) 确定社区内部和不同地点的风险体验有何不同，这如何影响 NBS 的实施，以及缓解日益严重的气候变化的适应能力如何与局部影响相关。定量，通过评估生态系统的社会和经济协同效益，对 NBS 进行数据驱动的减少灾害风险评估项目结果支持制定有效的政策变革、社区参与、工程指导以及 NBS 的激励措施和创新融资。 NBS 的广泛和标准化使用也为扩大不同利益相关者在气候适应过程中的参与提供了机会。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的。通过评估提供支持基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
