Think tank for the future of coastal cities.
One in seven people
in the U.S. live in coastal cities.
More than 47 million people live in U.S. coastal cities, of which nearly 60% are people of color. The coastal economy supports 54.6 million jobs and contributes 10 trillion to our total GDP, and the ocean has the potential to provide up to 35% of the climate solutions we need.
What We Deliver
We develop equitable policy solutions at the intersection of climate, cities, and coasts
-
We research, analyze, and develop policy solutions for more climate-ready coastal cities.
-
We foster a community of practice to scale up climate action efforts.
-
We curate an open-access resource hub with essential information for policymakers, community organizations, and other practitioners.
Our Resource Hub is getting an update. We’re redesigning it to better serve coastal city practitioners. Check out our publications and join our newsletter to stay in the loop!
