Want to contribute and ride this Wave together?

Since the beginning of 2020, the Ocean and Climate Platform (OCP) has carried out a project in order to facilitate coastal and island adaptation to climate change: Sea’ties. The preceding year, the IPCC’s Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere was unequivocal: the changes affecting the ocean are already having dramatic consequences for coastal ecosystems and populations. Sea level rise reinforces the erosion process and leads to a clear retreat from the coastline, while extreme meteorological events intensify and threaten to submerge large areas.

 

ObjectiVEs

  • Identify insurers and financial players facing the risk of sea level rise.

  • Find concrete solutions to go beyond an identical reconstruction.

  • Involve the insurance industry to challenge political action.
