Adapting infrastructure assets in practice: Facing up to future challenges

09 March 2020 - Published by Eric Boessenkool
A workshop jointly convened by the Interreg North Sea Region FAIR project and the Environment Agency.

As we grapple with an uncertain future, Exeter College, Oxford provided an excellent venue for an enjoyable and informative exchange of ideas and experience on how to deliver adaptation in practice.  Although we didn't identify a single sliver point, there was significant consensus on the urgency of the issues to be addressed and what is needed to make real progress.  Building upon the four Policy Recommendations from the FAIR project (here) a summary of the workshop, its agenda the presentations and findings can be found here.

We hope to continue to collaborate around making adaptation happen in practice.  If you would like to be kept informed please contact us.
