Governance

This section outlines governance structures, laws, policies, plans and regulations for coastal protection and disaster risk reduction in Europe.

Evidence from over 150 interviewees across Europe provides insights into how these governmental programmes are implemented and perceived by different groups of people in coastal zones through the RISC-KIT case studies.

Other sections provide insights on governance systems and approaches to coastal risk management at national, regional and local level in RISC-KIT countries as well as initiatives at European Union and international level.
