Wellcoast

The Human Wellbeing and Coastal Resilience Network is brought together by a common concern over the growing vulnerability of coastal people and the ecosystem services on which they depend. The network aims to connect, and support, activities that work towards improved governance for human wellbeing and coastal resilience worldwide. In doing so, we strive for enhanced collective learning and debate across different scientific disciplines, geographical scales, and coastal contexts, which can inform coastal governance and policy processes. Our members span academic, civil society, consultancy, and policy making sectors from across the globe.more...

Welcome to LOICZ South Asia Node

LOICZ is a joint core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).

LOICZ aims to provide science that contributes towards understanding the Earth system in order to inform, educate and contribute to the sustainability of the world’s coastal zone. Therefore LOICZ seeks to inform the scientific community, policymakers, managers and stakeholders on the relevance of global environmental change in the coastal zone.

The aim of the LOICZ Regional Nodes is to coordinate and promote global change research at the regional and local level as well as to facilitate links and exchanges between international, national and local science and policy.

In August 2009, the South Asia Node of LOICZ was officially initiated in India, with Anna University Chennai as its hub. The focus of the South Asia node is to bring together a large network of individuals and institutions involved in coastal research under the umbrella of LOICZ in India and other Asian countries.
 

 

The mandate of a LOICZ Regional Node is to facilitate a “Synthesis of patterns of change and trajectories in the region’s coast and implications to policy and management”. A LOICZ Regional Node should develop a Regional Implementation Strategy based on the scientific framework provided by the LOICZ Science Plan and the mid-term Priority Topics.
