CEP presenting research on how to work with communities to manage the flood and coastal erosion risks

CEP presenting work undertaken for Defra and the Environment Agency on a flood and coastal erosion risk management research and development framework: working with communities.

Dr. Clare Twigger-Ross and Rolands Sadauskis will be giving a presentation on the work undertaken for Defra and the Environment Agency on ‘Communities and flood and coastal erosion risk management research and development framework’ as part of the ‘Simply Evidence Seminar’ hosted by Defra. This project developed a framework to determine the priorities for future research on how to work with communities to manage the risks associated with flooding and coastal erosion.

The presentation will focus on the approach to develop the framework, including the literature review and gap analysis, and will highlight the priority areas for future research that could shape existing and future research and help prioritise Environment Agency’s research funding. This webinar is organised following the publication of the key outputs from this work:

• Communities and FCERM research framework report

• Literature review report

• One-page summaries for each FCERM activity based on literature review findings,

The aim of the webinar is to raise awareness of the programme and to seek engagement from policy makers with the projects in the priority areas.

CEP successfully hosted Communities and FCERM workshop

CEP successfully facilitated a workshop as part of a project to develop a Communities and FCERM R&D Framework

CEP recently facilitated a one day workshop with a range of key stakeholders to consult and engage them in the development of a Communities and FCERM R&D framework. The workshop, organised by the Environment Agency, successfully took place in London on Wednesday 11th March 2020 before government recommendations around COVID-19 came into place.

CEP, in partnership with Flood Hazard Research Centre (FHRC) Middlesex University and HR Wallingford (HRW), have been commissioned by the Environment Agency (EA) to develop a Communities and FCERM R&D Framework. The primary aim of the project is to identify the main research gaps in the area of FCERM through a detailed review of the current science.

Information about the Communities and FCERM R&D framework project can be found here.

CEP to facilitate a workshop on the development of the Communities and FCERM R&D framework

This week CEP are facilitating a workshop on the development of a Communities and FCERM R&D framework

CEP is facilitating a one day workshop with a range of key stakeholders to consult and engage them in the development of the Communities and FCERM R&D framework.

The workshop will aim to identify additional relevant research and research gaps to help shape the development of the framework. It will also enable participants to input to the development of the framework through sharing of their knowledge and volunteering to review project ideas as they are developed.

The workshop is organised by the Environment Agency and will take place in London on Wednesday 11th March 2020. Attendance is by invitation only.

New EA project to develop a Communities and FCERM R&D Framework

CEP HAS BEEN COMMISSIONED TO DEVELOP A COMMUNITIES AND FCERM R&D FRAMEWORK

CEP, in partnership with Flood Hazard Research Centre (FHRC) Middlesex University and HR Wallingford (HRW), have been commissioned by the Environment Agency (EA) to develop a Communities and FCERM R&D Framework. The primary aim of the project is to identify the main research gaps in the area of FCERM through a detailed review of the current science.

The review process is being supplemented with interviews and further workshops with key stakeholders. The outputs from this project will help to set-out a roadmap for delivering and funding EA projects to fill these gaps. The project began in October and will come to a close at the end of 2020.
