These areas have been at the forefront of developing innovative approaches to coastal transition and will help fund new long-term adaptation approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will include selective property purchases or long-term financing solutions in areas where homes face imminent risk from erosion, that could provide a sustainable model for managing coastal transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new pilots build upon the \u00a336 million Coastal Transition Accelerator Programme, which continues to support coastal authorities to trial new methods for managing erosion. This has helped residents and businesses move away from high-risk areas while sharing insights with other vulnerable communities\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/30-million-boost-for-coastal-communities-adapting-to-eroding-shores\">Read more here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image for illustration: Atwick Sands, East Riding of Yorkshire by Stephen Horncastle CC BY-SA 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons New Coastal Adaptation Pilots to help England&#8217;s most at-risk coastal areas prepare for climate change have been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[17,427,710,30,9,665,16],"class_list":["post-45671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog","tag-climate-change","tag-coastal","tag-england","tag-environment","tag-government","tag-local-authorities","tag-planning"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45671"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45713,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45671\/revisions\/45713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
