Sea-level rise in French regulation:
Successes, issues and ways forwards
Successes Issues Ways forward
Limitations to further urbanization
in hazard-prone areas
Public support Improved regulation (ongoing)
Better understanding & modeling
of coastal flooding
Chronic flooding, erosion/accretion,
cascading impacts (coastal landfills,
polluted soils) still poorly considered
Research needs
Improved technical guidelines
Future sea-level rise is anticipated Up to 60cm only
User-centered approach

Need for knowledge sharing (e.g., WCRP Sea-Level Activities, JPI, etc.)

User centered approaches toward
climate services
o Sea-level scenarios relevant to
each user’s willingness to
accept losses
o Working with DRIAS (French
National Climate Service)
o With private and public users to
improve the platform
o Requires international
coordination

Sharing knowledge
Coastal Climate Core Service
Objective: to improve decision-making on coastal risk management and adaptation, by
establishing an integrated core service dedicated to coastal adaptation to sea-level rise.
Deliverable: an open source web-platform informing users on present-day & future coastal risks.
EC support: 6M€
