Local and Spatial Considerations David Dodman, Elisabeth Hamin, Lorna Inniss, Tim Randhir, Ulric Trotz, Rae Zimmerman, and Arlen Marin.
2
Preliminary aspects to consider 1.Definitions, differences (considering north/south approaches and opinions), and how do they transect. (e.g. local/regional, and how is valuable to bring these together, and the meaning of local – the level at which decisions get made about what actually happens –). 2.Compatibility between ‘local’ decision-making and larger-scale priorities. (Considering the differences between Caribbean and NE). 3.Level of governance and how people are involved in decision-making (consultation, coproduction, etc.) 4.Individual/Collective Rights.
3
Local/Spatial/Community Characteristics 5.Economic factors and how do they influence different types of intervention. (Drivers, cultural forces). 6.Permanent vs transient resident tensions. 7.Dispersion and density; proximity to coastal line. (Water, transportation, utilities, and demographic characteristics).
4
Mechanisms for local decision-making (government, other local actors) 8.Multi-criteria analysis. (Analysis of different approaches – not just about whether it is “grey or green” but about whether it makes “economic sense” to pursue, and different ecosystems). 9.Conservation goals or an aim at providing a disincentive towards (e.g. US Army Corps of Engineers: if you remove one acre of wetland you have to put 3-4 back elsewhere). 10.Value and benefits of ‘green’ infrastructure – factual / value grounding needs to be better known 11.Lack of expertise at local level, even if responsibilities have been devolved.
5
Opportunities for research 12.Tool to support decision-makers in integrating climate change. Spoke to ministries of planning and finance. – Bluespace. – Caribsave (?!): doing work on local ownership and management of marine areas, involving tourism sector (Sandals, Virgin); training fisher-folk in alternative skills. Owen Day now working for Caribsave. – Emerging networks in NE USA – tricky to work out who to engage with. – Disaster Network might be useful (including from NE USA) (NEDRIX?)

Outcome Statement Coastal communities and professionals in the NE USA and Caribbean are able to use evidence to participate more effectively in building coastal resilience.

1.Review examples of good practice around evidence to support local decision making, with the potential of developing these as case studies (e.g. Barbados). 2.Assess tools and approaches that have been / could be used to support more meaningful and effective local decision-making and governance. 3.Engage with planning community / networks of planners / professional organizations / private sector to provide input at 2015 and subsequent meetings.
