To understand Adaptive Pathways approach to community adaptation planning. 2 Adaptation Adaptation is increasing our resilience and ability to thrive in a changing environment.

Pathways are constructed to maintain a flexibility between options. Adaptation actions are sequenced over time. The aim is no/low-regret decisions that do not: a) irreversibly commit to a particular course of action and limit future options; and / or b) over-invest in risk reduction prematurely at significant cost. Focus is our coastal communities due to the scale of change and impacts. 5 Adaptive Pathways Planning What’s happening? How’s it working? What matters most? How can we implement the strategy?
