By 2040, installing sea walls for all coastal cities with >25k residents would require at least $42 billion...and that's NOT the whole cost. Walls diminish beach sizes; don't necessarily reduce flood insurance costs for high hazard areas.

@GaryWHall Simple supply and demand economics will see wholesale prices drop. Your argument is more a case against austerity than using renewables.

How do coastal councils apply a standardised approach to #coastalhazard #adaptation but also deliver a fit for purpose product that considers unique built and natural environments?

[Richard Sharp @Richardsharp84]

The UK's Environment Agency are preparing for 4°C rise in global temperature and will develop new standards of #floodresilience for communities.

All homes to 'build back better' after a flood.

All new development must be flood #resilient by 2030.

#climatechange action.

[Environment Agency @EnvAgency]

Floods destroy lives, livelihoods and property. As part of the #25YEP we want to build a nation resilient to #flooding and coastal change. Have your say on our flood and coastal erosion strategy up to 2100. https://t.co/4cazwqSRqe #ClimateChange #FCRMStrategy2100

“Sea level rise puts an enormous amount of infrastructure at risk” and the impact of sea level rise goes well beyond infrastructure. Coastal communities need suitable and appropriate adaptation strategies to reduce the risks and impacts. #resilience #coastadapt

Are you thinking of adapting your home to enable it to recover more quickly after a #flood? See our infographic which illustrates what can be done.

Brisbane and much of SEQ is copping the wet weather fallout from #CycloneTrevor #ifitsfloodedforgetit

[Bureau of Meteorology, Queensland @BOM_Qld]

Ex-tropical #CycloneTrevor has dropped plenty of rain 🌧 on western Qld, and more will follow today & tomorrow as it continues moving east. The highest total to 9am today was 178mm at Trepell in #NWQld. More totals at https://t.co/urS7PyEbmt

Wow. Take care. Do NOT drive into flood water regardless of how shallow you think it is. Flood water has hidden dangers and posss a threat to life. #floodaware #floods #stormGareth @floodmary @ClareDinnisEA @johncurtinEA @Revetment @HalfpennyKerry

QCoast2100 Wins the 2019 Australian Coastal Councils Award for Climate Adaptation! Congrats to @LGAQ @QldEnvironment @subathra_r and participating councils. Feels good to see years of hard work pay off through more #coastaldaptation #climatechangeaction

[Richard Sharp @Richardsharp84]

Climate #resilience is a multidisciplinary challenge. There is no silver bullet. Mitigating the impacts of #climatechange takes action across the fields of #UrbanPlanning, #Community #Awareness, #DisasterRecovery and #Infrastructure.
