Shaping Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Policy through Science: The North Carolina Sea Level Rise Risk Management Study
Sea level rise adaptation policy is often approached without adequate knowledge of the potential hazard and risk impacts, or lacks consideration of detailed benefit cost analysis of adaptation strategies. The North Carolina Sea Level Rise Risk Management Study seeks to establish a comprehensive framework to directly translate the projected consequences into adaptation policy, with full realization of the potential long-term benefits. The study provides for detailed numerical quantification of the response of coastal and flood dynamics to sea level rise, and impact of those hazards on system-wide resources. A key objective of the effort is to inform the state legislature of the potential risk to sea level rise and the projected short- and long-term benefits of adaptation measures. We also seek to provide a transferable process framework and documenting lessons learned for conducting similar future assessments.
