Sea-level rise is a pervasive threat to almost all Australian coastal communities, yet adaptation actions are constrained by conflicting community values. This project will produce new knowledge about place-based values held by groups underrepresented in adaptation planning and research: Indigenous peoples, migrants, renters and youth. It will conduct the first longitudinal analysis of Australian coastal values, advance knowledge of the dynamics of place-based values and pilot a new deliberative method that addresses conflicting and changing values. Expected outcomes include strategies that support communities and governments to negotiate diverse coastal values to deliver fairer adaptation solutions where decades of policy have failed.","funding-current":1309619.00,"funding-at-announcement":1282038,"investigators-current":[{"title":"A/Prof","firstName":"Sonia","familyName":"Graham","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0003-4195-4559 "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"A/Prof","firstName":"Sonia","familyName":"Graham","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0003-4195-4559 "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"University of Wollongong","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"University of Wollongong","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":false,"code":"330405","name":"Public Participation and Community Engagement","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":true,"code":"4406","name":"Human Geography","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"440609","name":"Rural and Regional Geography","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"190103","name":"Social Impacts of Climate Change and Variability","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"210402","name":"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Connection to Land and Environment","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"280123","name":"Expanding Knowledge In Human Society","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["England","Finland","France","Ireland","Spain","Switzerland"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"Despite two decades of government-led adaptation planning, regional coastal communities are not prepared for rising sea levels. Existing planning processes are not designed to deal with community conflict, reconcile the full spectrum of community values impacted by sea-level rise, nor do they accommodate changing values over time. This project aims to develop adaptation responses that navigate the diverse and conflicting values of Australian coastal residents. This requires first documenting the values of people who have been underrepresented in adaptation planning to date: Indigenous peoples, migrants, renters and youth. It will then develop a new community engagement method that encourages residents with the full range of values to explore and find adaptation options that most align with their values. By sharing the lessons learned with local, state, and federal governments, this project will lead to more effective use of the millions of dollars spent each year on adaptation planning, enhance the representativeness and effectiveness of community engagement, and sustain the diverse community values associated with Australia’s unique coastline for the next generations. The new knowledge will strengthen Australia’s capacity to respond to current and future environmental changes, and specifically coastal adaptation to sea-level rise."}}}
