IMEC.LIVINGLABS

De resultaten van het Digimeter rapport zijn verwerkt in acht grote hoofdstukken: televisie, computer, tablet, telefonie, packs, sociale media, het spelen van videospellen en traditioneel mediagebruik. Afsluitend is er ook een segmentatie van de Vlaamse bevolking in 5 verschillende profielen. De analyses worden visueel gepresenteerd door gebruik van tabellen, grafieken, infografieken, uitgebreide profilering en interessante hypotheses. De volgende pagina's geven eerst de evolutie van verschillende media in Vlaanderen over de 5 Digimeter waves heen. Vervolgens wordt aan de hand van enkele interessante weetjes uit wave 5 een samenvatting van de verschillende hoofdstukken gegeven. Voor het volledige rapport of vragen in verband met meer diepgaande analyses kan contact opgenomen worden via panel@iminds.be.

Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to climate change hazards (e.g., sea-level rise, flooding, coastal erosion), which can lead to significant impacts at the ecosystem and societal level. Interest in Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is gaining importance due to its potential multiple benefits, including social and environmental aspects, when compared to more traditional approaches such as hard engineering interventions. When assessing EbA strategies, further understanding of the nature-society functions, processes, values, and benefits is needed to increase its application. This study contributes to a better knowledge of EbA by developing a systematic literature review of studies performing socio-economic assessments of climate change adaptation in coastal areas. The analysis of 54 publications revealed that most of the studies assessed adaptation solutions through cost-benefit analysis, followed by multi-criteria analysis, and other techniques. Hybrid adaptation strategies based on...

Coastal areas are highly vulnerable to climate change hazards (e.g., sea-level rise, flooding, coastal erosion), which can lead to significant impacts at the ecosystem and societal level. Interest in Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) is gaining importance due to its potential multiple benefits, including social and environmental aspects, when compared to more traditional approaches such as hard engineering interventions. When assessing EbA strategies, further understanding of the nature-society functions, processes, values, and benefits is needed to increase its application. This study contributes to a better knowledge of EbA by developing a systematic literature review of studies performing socioeconomic assessments of climate change adaptation in coastal areas. The analysis of 54 publications revealed that most of the studies assessed adaptation solutions through cost-benefit analysis, followed by multi-criteria analysis, and other techniques. Hybrid adaptation strategies based on different combinations of hard, soft and EbA interventions were considered as potential optimal solutions in a significant part of the assessments. This study suggests the potential co-benefits of EbA in the form of ecosystem services, livelihood diversification or biodiversity conservation, but also stresses the need for further research on this topic, as well as on evaluating how EbA perform in the long-term under climate changing conditions scenarios.

This report outlines a strategic plan for extending the life of the iSCAPE Living Labs beyond the project. The plan was developed following a threestep approach which involved the assessment of the current state of the Living Labs, development of the sustainability objectives, and planning of the actionable initiatives. The report was produced as part of Task 5.4 and it forms Deliverable 5.5. Review status Action Person Date Quality Control Francesco Pilla (UCD)
