The coast in 50 years: co-construction of adaptation strategies to climate change on the Côte d’Opale (2016–2019)
The COSACO project, supported by the Fondation de France, was a citizen science research project involving the local population and local stakeholders, and had 4 main objectives:
- to evaluate the potiential impacts of climate change on two coastal sites in Pas-de-Calais (Baie de Wissant, Platier d’Oye)
- to inform the local population and stakeholders of the results
- to involve the population in a research action in order to implement co-construction of adaptation strategies
- to analyse the social acceptability of the methods that could be implemented by public bodies
