Future Earth Coasts

Future Earth Coasts is a United States-based research project and global expert network dedicated to understanding the impacts of global environmental change in coastal zones. Employing a team of 5 to 9 individuals, the organization focuses on connecting natural and social sciences with local coastal community knowledge. Future Earth Coasts investigates the drivers and social-environmental consequences of global change on coastlines. Their work spans global, regional, and local scales, aiming to support adaptation to these changes. The organization's efforts contribute to the broader field of sustainability by providing valuable insights and solutions for managing coastal environments in the face of global challenges. Founded as LOICZ by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP), the project transitioned to become a core project of Future Earth in January 2015. This history underscores their commitment to international collaboration and scientific rigor.
